Pride and Prejudice Conclusion

Austen satirizes the conventions of love and marriage in the early 1800’s to show the follies and intentions of marriage. She shows the foolish ideals of money, wealth, and status that women in those days strived for rather than a strong emotional and romantic connection. Austen displays love back then as more methodical and obligatory rather than portraying love as an emotional partnership. She contradicts the conventional norms of matrimony by illustrating marriage not by love but rather the financial security and stability.
