What was Jane Austen's profession?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Very few women had a profession back then. A woman of her social background could only work as a governess - but only as a last resort, because the experience could be horrible. She could have never dared describe herself as a professional writer, neither did she earn enough to support herself. She was a spinster who wrote - occasionally.

What does Elizabeth Bennet value?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Elizabeth Bennet's personality strengths are many, with the the most important being that she is intelligent, honest and a wonderful conversationalist. Yet she does have weaknesses of personality also. She too often says what she feels when it might have been better to say nothing. However, the trait that almost kept her from happiness, was making assumptions without all the facts.

What is the setting of the story Emma y Jane Austen?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Emma is set in and around the fictional village of Highbury, in Surrey, about sixteen miles from London. Though the inn has a room big enough, Highbury is a village with a population insufficient to provide enough guests for a ball, so guests have to be invited from farther out.

Where did sense and sensibility take place?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Sense and Sensibility was set in some time around 1805 to 1811.

We do not have dates on the settings of Jane Austen's books, except to say she was writing about people of her own time. Sense and Sensibility was published in 1811, and since Jane Austen was a very careful writer who rewrote and edited her work extensively, we can guess that the work was first envisioned years before that.

What events happened during Jane Austens life?

Asked by Wiki User

We really do not know what Jane Austen's views of politics were.

One thing fascinating about Jane Austen and her writing is that she seems never to portray anything in her writing with which she is not familiar. She not portray battles, or life aboard ship, or the lives of princesses or beggars, but instead deals with militia at balls, sailors home on leave, and the sorts of people who she knew in her life. She takes this to an extreme - for example she never portrays a conversation among men with no women present, and event she could not have witnessed at which men might have behaved differently than they would in mixed company.

My suspicion is that Jane Austen was raised in a household where women made screens and performed on pianofortes and Fordyce's sermons were a source of boredom, but politics were not a subject of conversation. It was a world where women had to marry out of economic necessity, but there were never enough men at the ball (she never said so, but the Napoleonic Wars made it hard to find find husbands). She knew of some of the political and economic problems, and portrayed the ones with which she was familiar, but she did not have the experience necessary to suggest solutions. Political implications could be drawn by a thoughtful reader, but the author's own views may have been left unexpressed because she thought herself ill qualified to recommend herself as political thinker.

When was Elizabeth Bennett born in the book Pride and Prejudice?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Jane Austen, like many writers of the time, chose to be vague about the specific date in which the novel is set. So there is no way to really answer this. However, it is at some point between the Napoleonic wars, so Elizabeth must have been born a little before that. Keep in mind that she was age 20 at the start of the novel, this giving some clue.

What did Jane Austen do for women?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

She was a strong woman, who wrote simply because she loved to, which influences women all over the world to write. Her appearance was said to be of an 'average' look. Because of this, people said that she was not beautiful enough to be a writer. Her language was vivid, and her dialogue fantastic. She did not focus on the appearance of herself OR her characters, which, to this day, is an enlightening fact.

Elizabeth Bennet grows quite a lot in the course of Pride and Prejudice.

At the beginning of the book, she enjoys being a studier of human folly. By the end, she realizes the extent of even her own folly.

She learns that first impressions are not always accurate, and should not prejudice a person against or for others.

She learns to understand people marrying for reasons other than love, however distasteful that may be to her.
