Money


Chapter eight of “The Cambridge Companion” talks about how Jane Austen talks about money in her books. It talks about how if she does not tell you how much money they make she will infer it through different things in like home, car clothes, and other things of that nature. Sometime Jane Austen talks about lower income families and she would state it like, “they make 2,000 pounds a year.” She also talks about struggles families have with money like in her book “Mansfield Park” she talks about how they cannot pay their medical bills. Jane finds a way to talk about money in all her books, if she does not come right out and say it she will show you how much money they have.She also talk about how girls are save by these rich men. Jane will right a Cinderella story in many cases.
