Lady Susan ends up marrying Sir James herself, and allows Frederica to reside with Charles and Catherine at Churchill, where Reginald De Courcy "could be talked, flattered, and finessed into an affection for her."

Pubblicato nel 1813, Orgoglio e pregiudizio e l''opera piu popolare della Austen, la piu perfetta per equilibrio di struttura narrativa e smalto di stile, scrive Attilio Bertolucci nell''introduzione. Intorno al personaggio di Elizabeth, bella senza essere bellissima, intelligente e ferma senza essere dura, viene fuori nella sua verita l''Inghilterra di prima della rivoluzione industriale, col verde dei suoi boschi, col fango delle sue stagioni autunnali, col rosso delle sue uniformi militari.Il colorito che era sfuggito dalle sue guance vi ricomparve per un attimo con maggiore intensita, e un sorriso compiaciuto aggiunse splendore al suo sguardo, quando le baleno per la testa il pensiero che l''affetto e le speranze di lui fossero immutati. Ma non osava crederci.

Pride and Prejudice is a romance novel by Jane Austen, first published in 1813. The story charts the emotional development of the protagonist, Elizabeth Bennet, who learns the error of making hasty judgments and comes to appreciate the difference between the superficial and the essential. The comedy of the writing lies in the depiction of manners, education, marriage, and money during the British Regency period.Mr. Bennet of the Longbourn estate has five daughters, but his property is entailed, meaning that none of the girls can inherit it. His wife has no fortune, so it is imperative that at least one of the girls marry well in order to support the others on his death. Jane Austens opening line, "It is a truth universally acknowledged that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife" is a sentence filled with irony and playfulness. The novel revolves around the importance of marrying for love, not simply for money, despite the social pressures to make a good (i.e. wealthy) match.
