Setting

So far in my novel I have learned quite a bit about the time period the setting was placed in. The belief is still that woman are born to marry off rich. The parents set them up with a man who is more wealthy so that the man will fall in love with her and she will be better off in the future. So far I am very interested in this theory to see how far it is taken into the novel but I don't like it. I think it is sexist and wrong. I believe maybe Jane Austen put this in the novel to show her true feelings about it. That maybe she is trying to show that women need to step up and fight against. I'm not sure I will find out farther hopefully.

The setting currently in my novel is in Hertforshire. It states, "The evening was spent chiefl in talking over Hertfordshire news, and telling again what had been already written." By this being said I can know where the setting is because they are talking over that news and it gives us a place. The time period as was said in the beginning was placed in a very old time. It has not come out and said what time period it is but it has said thing to show that it is old, for example, Mrs.Bennet says, "Mr. Bingley is single, my dear, to be sure! A single man of large fortune; four or five thousand a year. What a fine thing for our girls!" Also they use a lot of old language as also seen in that sentence. This should make for a good novel because I can read about things that I don't have a good knowledge of.
