Role of Women
Success
Success back them for a women was to strictly marry a wealthy man. Men back then would inherit the property and money when their father died and men were the rich ones. Women would be successful in their lifetime if they married a rich man and had a safe and secure life.
Education
There was not much education for women back in that time period. They would be taught basic stuff around the house but they would not attend a school.
Marriage
Marriage was mainly for money. Women would try to marry rich men for security in life, even if they did not like the man. They did not marry for love.
Literary Devices
Irony
Jane Austen uses irony many times through out this novel. One ironic quote includes "It is the trust universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife" (Austen 1). Another ironic event was when Elizabeth thought she would never marry Mr. Darcy. She thought he was a jerk and she hated him but in the end, she loved him, and married him.
Satire
Satire is also a great element Jane Austen incorporates in her writing. Mr. Bennet uses satire when he mocks and makes fun of his wife.
Social Expectations
Social Classes
Based on how much money you had, would be how society judged you. If you were rich, you would be put into a higher social class then someone without much money.
Impact on Marriages
Everybody married for money back in that time period. If you did not have much money, it would be a lot harder to marry.
Marriage
Proposals
Proposals seemed to happen frequently just because every women was looking to marry a rich man.
