Man and Woman - A Creation for Relation in Austen’s Novels

Jane Austen as a realist writer put genuine efforts to connect her characters with real life situations and circumstances to establish her as recognised socially realistic author. The selected novels of this chapter - Pride and Prejudice, Sense and Sensibility, Emma, Northanger Abbey, Persuasion, & Mansfield Park – are clear representation of real social lives of early 19th century. However, the representations are so knitted that it provides a bliss of reading romantic comedies. The romance, the love affairs, the restrictions for expressing love, expressions of male chauvinism or chivalry, good fortune, decent suitors, maintenance of dignity by the lady, are some of the keys induced by Jane Austen in all her narrations. The purpose remains static and it is make to feel the personal, emotional and social lives of the characters. It is like living the age with the characters and having bonds with their emotional experiences. This is a narrative technique of Jane Austen that makes her novels not only romantically successful, but also identified as socially real entities
