It was mon practice during Austen ‘s time for women to marry a husband to save herself from spinsterhood or to gain financial security. After reading this book, I can strongly feel that the author ridicule the u niversal phenomenon in Britain at that time that y ounger sons and daughters who are used to luxurious lives have no choice but marry a man or woman in possession ofa large fortune to continue fortable lives.
