Answer 1

She often employs irony and humor to comment on the society of her time, and her prose is known for its clarity and elegance.

Answer 2

Jane Austen was creative and smart because she wrote many books. She was also romantic because all of her books are centered around love and courting. She was brave because she lived a life without marrying which was something not really accepted in her time. In addition I think she was sad because she wanted to be married, and settled, and she wanted children. She was also funny, sarcastic, witty, and clever which you can see in her books and the letters she wrote to friends and loved one. Lastly she was persistent and hard working because it takes a lot of time and work to publish your books.

Answer 3

To start with, all Jane Austen's novels are concerned with love and marriage. They examine this from a variety of different points of view by examining different people with different approaches to love and marriage. There are women who marry for love, and there are women who marry for money. There are women who don't marry at all. There is at least on woman who gets pregnant and is abandoned. There are women who elope, both married and not. And there are a number of men, and at least one woman, who are clearly predators, out to marry for money. Every book examines failed as well as successful approaches. Her works all end with the heroine happily married, but there is much to learn on the way.

Jane Austen is very careful of language. The people in her books she want us to admire are also careful of language, and anyone who uses bad grammar or wording is a person we should suspect is not entirely together, intellectually. Lydia Bennet and Mrs. Bennet are both careless in their speech.

Jane Austen is also careful of her writing, that it sound good when it is read aloud.

Her writing is often examines moral situations. Love and marriage provide a good deal of room for this, but there are other places where morals or ethics are examined. Fanny Price's ride to Portsmouth with her brother comes to mind, in which he speaks rather heartlessly about the prospects of his advancement in rank due to someone above him being killed or wounded to badly to continue in service.

She loved satire and irony, and it showed in her writing.

She sometimes creates and uses allegorical illusions in her work, that provide views into the motives of her characters and comments on their natures. For example, the ha-ha (a ditch animals could not cross) and gate in at Rushworth's estate, a barrier skirted by Maria Bertram and Henry Crawford, provides a premonition of their elopement. Nevertheless, she does not push this sort of thing very often.

It is notable that she never describes action unlike anything she could have actually witnessed. For example, as a woman, she could never have been present when a group of men was talking with no women around, and no such scene ever appears in any of her novels. Nor are there any battle scenes, despite the numbers of soldiers and sailors. Her major characters are all people of the social classes with which she was familiar.

She does not talk politics. She does deal with political subjects, and portrays them as things that are important, but she does not attempt to provide political solutions to political or economic problems. Clearly, the entail is an important problem not only to the Bennets, but to the Dashwoods, the Elliots, and a lot of women who actually lived in the U. K. at the time. But she does not suggest abolishing it. Equally clearly, slavery is an issue she touched on, but did not comment on, as was the fact that women were not given means to provide for themselves.

There are country parsons in nearly all of her works. Some are clearly people who are good, and some are equally ridiculous. Jane Austen was the daughter of a country parson, as was her mother.

I am sure there is more, and I hope others will add their thoughts.
