Pride and Prejuice is a novel written by Jane Austen in 1813. The novel is based on a female's purpose during the 19th century in England. Jane Austen spent many of her years focusing on her education while other girls married young. This played a strong role on Jane's book because her only proposal had financial stability but she lacked any emotion towards the man. This left her in a difficult place for women during this time because the pressure to marry for financial reason was prominent. Women could not hold any true independence without a man and this is what she decided to base her book novel on. She wanted to pull attention towards the forceful nature of women having to marry for other reasons than love alone. This period piece was written during the Romanticism movement which she emphased on emotions over what choices she should make. She wanted the world to see the insight of how it feels from a female's perspective on having to marry to be secure. The way Jane wrote her work was to impact on how women were viewed during this time. She wanted to help them see marriage should be more than what is expected of women but rather draw the focus to love as the main reason for marriage.
