Have you ever felt like life wasn't fair and that you couldn't do anything about it? This is exactly how the feminist involvement system made the women of Pride and Prejudice feel. Jane Austen's novel Pride and Prejudice tells the story of five girls trying to find a husband. Mrs. Bennet, the girl's mother, tries to beg one of her daughters to marry Mr. Collins so that the estate can be passed down. It is necessary for one of the daughters to marry Mr. Collins since he is the oldest first cousin. The nexus system states that if there are no male heirs in the nuclear family, the inheritance will pass to the eldest first cousin (Pool). Mr. Collins is this oldest first cousin, which is why Mrs. Bennett wants one of her daughters to marry him. The implication system dictates the lives of the five girls throughout the book. Pride and Prejudice demonstrates an uncorrupted example of how the implication system was unfair to women because it solidified their low-ranking place in a patriarchal society by forcing women to depend on the resources provided by a man. The primogeniture system plays an important role in Pride and Prejudice. Birthright is the right to pass an estate to the eldest son of the next generation (Pool). The law of primogeniture also states that if there is no male son to whom the estate can be passed, then the eldest male in the extended family inherits the estate. It is necessary for the estate to be passed to a man for two main reasons. The first reason is that if a woman inherited the estate and she did not marry, the estate would not pass to anyone. In fact, there would be no children to inherit the estate. The second reason is... middle of paper...... 00s Jane Austen had reason to push the feminist side of the social ladder that was the implication system. She wanted to communicate the unfair way in which money, land and other inheritances were distributed. Pride and Prejudice shows an uncorrupted depiction of women's lives in the 1800s (Access to Austen Part 4: Old Maids and Entailments). According to Pride and Prejudice - Notes on Education, Marriage, the Status of Women, etc., "Jane Austen expected her readers to understand that it is no joke that if Mr. Bennet died, his wife and five daughters would have to leave Longbourn and live on the interest of £5,000 By reading the book Pride and Prejudice, it can be inferred that Jane Austen strongly disagreed with the system of Works Cited "Access to.
