Austen, Jane. Pride and Prejudice. Airmont Publishing Co., Inc: New York,

Jane Austen is often noted by critics for her strong satirical angle

towards upper-middle class ways of life in the late eighteenth century.

Pride and Prejudice is no exception to this. In this particular work Austen

attacks the society's condoning of marriage for money and social

standing. Austen does this by magnifying the absurdness of heir attitude

toward marriage and the customs they practice. Austen does this best

when she sets up the first "gathering scene" in the novel as a ball. This

gives Austen the chance to demonstrate some

Bennet this ridiculous to make her point about this society even stronger.
