Arguement: Jane Austens potrayal of women in her novels Pride and Prejudice and Emma to reflect events she was experiencing, not neccesarily the norm.
Claim: Austens stong relationship with her sister influenced her to write of the strengths that women have. The closeness they shared is reflected in the relationships of the sisters in Pride and Prejudice.The strenghs of the female characters were out of the norm for women of the time.
Evidence: "...sister-sister relations are just as important as marraige in the novels" "Austen is not commited to the values of her neighborhood, or qua values at all, that is she is disengaed to dominate political norms."
