Heres a first rough draft of a possible into paragraph
Question (changed): How did Women at the time view marriage and how does Austen feel about it/use satire to show this?
In Pride and Prejudice, Austen illustrates the role of marriage and social power in early 1800 English society. Through several of her characters, she captures the values of women at the time when it came to the idea marriage. Her novel explores the conflict between love and wealth, and how women prioritized the power which a marriage could offer.Through her use of satire, Austen clearly displays her view of women in society and their values; in a time when status led to overall social power, women sought to marry into wealth to achieve that status, rather than basing marriage on true love.
