  Arguement: In his article, Nicholas Seymore describes that wealth is a main theme through out Jane Austen's Novel: Pride and prejudice.
  
  Evidence: "Jane Austen's heroines all face the truth about money which early nineteenth-century women all knew: to be female, and poor, and unprotected, was - well, as the heroine's sister says in one of her unfinished works, "my father cannot provide for us, and it is very bad to grow old and be poor and laughed at". A subject much discussed is a woman's fortune, or the lack of it: she needs at least £10,000 to have a really good chance in the marriage market, while £30,000 makes her an heiress. (Annual interest was calculated, apparently, at a uniform rate, so any prospective husband could estimate his prospective fiancée's income - which would usually become his.)"
  
  Thoughts: I agree because during Jane Austen's time, everything revolved around social status and wealthyness which is how people got to any where at all.
