Exploring the interplay of inheritance, money, and love, this seminar paper examines the socioeconomic themes in Jane Austen's works, particularly in Pride and Prejudice. It challenges the notion of Austen's settings as merely quaint, likening them to the opulence of Downton Abbey while emphasizing the underlying financial dynamics that influence marriage and societal expectations. By analyzing these economic interpretations, the paper reveals how they reflect both the societal power structures of Austen's time and the author's perspective on these issues.
