This thesis analyses the devices manipulated by Jane Austen in Pride and Prejudice and Emma to foreground the &lsquo<br>female voice&rsquo<br>. The thesis argues that in these novels satire including irony and parody is used as a tool for revealing the place of women in eighteenth century England. In addition, themes and characters by which feminist conversations are constructed are also dealt with.

Abstract:
Jane Austen, seen by some as the mother of all chick-lit, is synonymous with tales of love and marriage. Generally, scholars have classified the types of marriages Austen writes about as either companionate (a marriage based on love) or pedagogic (a marriage based on an older man training a younger woman to be his ideal wife). In comparing the companionate and pedagogic marriage models in Austen's Sense and Sensibility and Emma, however, one finds that these traditional definitions and classifications of the companionate and pedagogic marriages prove to be complicated.

I have also looked at how love as a sought after ideal in marriage conceals the social and economic factors’ influence.

Abstract:
The perception that the epistolary form was rejected by novelists during the Romantic Era has largely been accepted by scholars. However, in looking at the period's two most prominent authors, Walter Scott and Jane Austen, we see that the epistolary form remained vibrant long after its supposed demise. Throughout their careers, both Austen and Scott employed embedded letters as a tool to create authenticity. Both Austen and Scott use what I call "literary letters" to create a sense of realism in their novels that contributed to the rise of the novel. Scholars often claim that Austen eschewed t

Jane Austen sprinkles deaths throughout her novels as plot devices and character indicators, but she does not tackle death directly. Yet death pervades her novels, in a subtle yet brutal way, in the lives of her female characters. Austen reveals that death was the definition and the destiny of women; it was the driving force behind the social and economic constructs that ruled the eighteenth-century woman's life, manifested in language, literature, religion, art, and even in a woman's doubts about herself.

Austen, Dickens, and Eliot each responded to discussions of their time concerning class, gender, and social change. One of the ways they addressed these issues, and sought to find solutions to the problems facing their culture, was through benevolence. Knightley, in Emma, uses benevolence as a means of mediating self-interest and sympathy. By acting out of sympathy, through benevolence, he achieves the self-interested benefits of reinforcing the class system and achieving his romantic conquests. Likewise, Dickens' Nicholas Nickleby learns how to use benevolence as a means of social mobility fr

Under the patriarchal society, Austen implicitly integrates her feminist viewpoints into her novels.

碩士<br>國立清華大學<br>外國語文學系<br>91<br>This thesis proposes that Emma exposes Jane Austen's critique of the class hierarchy, female predicaments, and the forbidden quest for individual freedom. In terms of Michel Foucault's power theory, the idea of break, discontinuity and gap is essential to reveal the interplay of the dominant ideology and the suppressed. My study focuses on the strategies of solving conflicts of the main text and the submerged subtexts. To take Jane Austen's anxiety of female authorship into consideration, female authors in the nineteenth century have to narrate their stories

碩士<br>中國文化大學<br>英國語文學研究所<br>92<br>Marriage is the central topic in Austen's Pride and Prejudice and Emma: the plots of the novels and the actions of the characters revolve around marriage. For Austen's characters, marriage does not mean the act of ungoverned passion but a complex engagement between the marrying couple and society. Austen's characters are completely integrated into society and play out the stories within the social rules. They realize that marriage can provide opportunities of class mobility and financial support; money and class are thus closely connected in their decision

碩士<br>國立中山大學<br>外國語文學系研究所<br>99<br>In the field of Jane Austen study, some critics regard her novels as a preaching of Christianity while some others consider her works as secular novels. In regards of the author’s religious background, it is essential to re-examine her novels in order to formulate the influence of religion in both her life and her works and to settle certain debates on her belief. This present thesis will center on three of Austen’s novels: Pride and Prejudice, Mansfield Park and Emma, with exploring her surviving correspondence in mention of her opinion on Christians, to pr

碩士<br>東吳大學<br>英文學系<br>100<br>In Jane Austen’s era, women would rely on heritage or marriage to make a living. Jane Austen’s Emma depicts the struggle and dilemma of the female characters restrained by economic conditions and social values. Emma reaches her spiritual enlightenment as soon as she accepts marriage and the struggles between individualism and social values resulting in “double-voiced discourse”. Therefore, this thesis will analyze the main character’s spiritual development. The thesis is divided into five parts: an introduction, three main chapters and a conclusion. In the introduc

M.A. Uiversity of the Witwatersrand, Faculty of Humanities, 2012<br>In this dissertation I will be examining two contemporary film adaptations of Jane Austen’s novels. The films in question are Amy Heckerling’s 1995 mainstream youth film Clueless, an adaptation of Emma (1816), and Whit Stillman’s 1990 art-house film Metropolitan, an adaptation of Mansfield Park (1814). Each film’s contemporary approach to Austen’s work significantly alters the narratives of their respective source texts. Hence, it is difficult for us to associate them directly with the world Austen presents to us in her n

碩士<br>國立中正大學<br>外國語文研究所<br>100<br>In a patriarchal society, laws endow men with the hereditary right of inheriting property. Women’s rights stand in total contrast to men’s and are confined to domesticity. In Jane Austen’s society, a woman’s success does not lie in her intelligence but in the possibilities of having a good marriage in order to secure her unforeseeable future. This thesis aims to explore the interrelationship among marriage, social status and property and their roles in Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice, Sense and Sensibility and Emma.
