How does Jane Austen portray higher class women in Pride and Prejudice?

Answer 1

i would have to say mostly as proud, arrogant women. women who think they are perfect and the best. one scene in the book comes to mind when Mr. Darcy and Caroline are describing accomplished women. they have such high expectations and they think that anybody who doesn't meet those expectations is inferrior.

Answer 2

Jane Austen portrays higher class women in Pride and Prejudice as refined, elegant, and often preoccupied with social status, marriage, and reputation. They are expected to exhibit proper manners, comportment, and decorum in society, and their primary concern is often securing advantageous marriages for themselves and their daughters. Despite their social standing and privilege, these women are also constrained by societal norms and expectations that dictate their behavior and choices.
