Austen’s celebrated, romantic “novel of manners” focuses on marriage in the 19th century, specifically in its capacity as the most practical way for women of small fortune to ensure their financial security. In examining the complicated social hierarchy revolving around land ownership and etiquette, many of the characters seek the appearance of social superiority. However, the novel argues that true good breeding entails integrity, kindness, and humility.
