... Cordelia Manley F6 Oral on Pride and Prejudice Written by Jane Austen and published in 1813 Pride and Prejudice is still to this day considered a classic for its sparkling social comedy and portrayal of human relationships. I have chosen to do my oral today on a the importance of marriage in society in the early 1800's as this is one of the many relevant issues that lie at the heart of Pride and Prejudice. P5: "It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife" The very opening of P+P already indicate the importance of marriage to both men and women in the early 1800's. Marriage based upon its profits is a concept that has its roots in the upper class nobility of England; however, as seen in this book, it can severely affect the lower nobility as well.
