THANKS TO WesternWatermelon Pride and Prejudice is a book written by Jane Austen. Jane Austen was an 18th century author/novelist. Key aspects of Jane Austen that are shown in the book are: - Family life: Austen came from a large family with six brothers and a sister very dear to her named Cassandra. This strong family bond is shown within the Bennet sisters in the book. - Limited opportunites for women: She couldn't inherit a property or persue a professional career. This is quite similar to the Bennet sisters (their house goes to Mr. Collins after Mr. Bennet passes), leading to their need to have a "good" marriage. - Her perspective on love: She shared the idea of love with the main character, Elizabeth Bennet. Although Austen never married, she valued real love over the shallow "love" of suitors.
