Jane Austen's 19th century story of the interesting, unique and irrisistible Dashwood sisters, their doting, foolish mother, and frivolous/unkind relations, makes for a humorous, satirical, touching and perceptive story which is just as popular and relatable today as it was back in 1811.
This classic story provides ample themes for development in the classroom such as Role of Women in society, perceptions of Marriage and love, Class Structure, Greed, Loyalty, rationale vs. sensitivity, and much more!
Verdict: suitable text for study in the classroom at Junior Level.
