1/31 Chapter 8 "power"

The Cambridge Companion chapter on class helped me understand the aspect of the prompt sex, money and power in multiple ways. The chapter mainly talked about classes in England, but in order to move up in a class you need to have power. And in order to get power you need sex and money. Both sex and money relate to how one obtains power and therefore, how to climb the social ladder. Social classes were very distinct in the England during the Austen's times and the higher you are up in a social class, the more power you have, and power you have on the lower classes. Social classes set people apart and were very, very relevant to the time.
