It brings up topics like how a woman should chose a husband- based on wealth or class, or based on love. In her time, marriage had little to do with love. Women (and the woman’s father/family) responded to proposals based on the mans wealth and position in society. But, in this novel, Jane threw this out the window and explored the effects of basing decisions like this on anything but love. ]]> 2018-01-19 04:51:11 UTC https://padlet.com/rg3136/abcqg4m5lc6z/wish/222682734 rg3136 https://padlet.com/rg3136/abcqg4m5lc6z/wish/222682801 After his abdication in April of 1814, Napoleon was exiled to the island of Elba in the Mediterranean Sea.
