Pride and Prejudice

Sense and Sensibility

In Sense and Sensibility, the Dashwood sisters, Elinor and Marianne, represent two opposing attitudes toward life. Elinor is practical and reserved, while Marianne is emotional and passionate.

The contrasting approaches of the sisters offer a reflection on the balance between reason and emotion.

Emma

Confident in her abilities, Emma sets out to pair up her friends and acquaintances, but her efforts lead to unexpected complications and romantic entanglements. As Emma faces the consequences of her meddling, she learns valuable lessons about self-awareness and the complexities of love.

Mansfield Park

The Complete Novels of Jane Austen also features Mansfield Park, which focuses on the life of Fanny Price. Raised in the household of her wealthy relatives, Fanny is often overlooked and undervalued. The novel examines themes of moral integrity, loyalty, and class, as Fanny faces romantic and societal challenges. It contrasts the lives and values of different characters, with a particular focus on Fanny’s quiet resilience.

Northanger Abbey

In Northanger Abbey, Jane Austen satirizes the Gothic novel genre. The protagonist, Catherine Morland, is a young woman who imagines herself living a dramatic Gothic tale.

Through Catherine’s humorous journey, Austen critiques the expectations and fantasies that popular literature of the time created in the minds of readers.
