In late eighteenth and early nineteenth century England there was a sort of moral ‘code’ of behavior and standards that are to be maintained by the middle and upper classes of society. Austen realistically mirrors this ‘code’ through the characters and plots of her novels while showing that social flexibility was narrow and class boundaries were strict. The topics of class stringency and social mobility are important areas in Jane Austen’s literature. We begin to see that Austen is not a revolutionary as she supports and preserves the morals and customs of societies hierarchy. However she often encourages and backs the emergence of new wealth permitting greater social mobility. In Austen’s world the naval and ‘tradesmen’ professions

Introduction The Family Crucible is a story about the Brice family who is recommended by Claudia’s psychiatrist to go to family therapy due to the fact that she has not been making any progress in individual psychotherapy. The Brice family comes in to meet with Dr. Carl Whitaker and Dr. Augustus

While reading The Family Crucible, the authors made it feel like I was watching a life-time television series. There were several high points and low points during the family therapy session that left me unsure of how the show would end. This book takes you on a journey using family counseling to help a family heal and communicate better with one another. I thought it was interesting how this systematic therapy took place in a time where therapy was looked at as taboo. Many times in that era family therapy was not an option. The main focus was on the family member with the issue and not on the parents or other family members. In the book the authors used different theories and approaches during the counseling sessions which were quite interesting. This process after time enabled the family to look at the journey they were on in order to understand how the family, as a whole, should function.

There are two main types of social classes which include the proletarians and the bourgeoisie. The novel shows who belongs to each class, why they belong there, and the consequences they face.

The gentry class was rich people who owned land and were lawyers, doctors, and clergy (Sheehan). For this reason, being born into the gentry social class was a special gift. The landed gentry got property by buying it with the money that they worked for and not inheriting it (Pride and Prejudice). If a male baby is born into a rich family, he would inherit money and land when his father passes away. When the upper class had children they gave the them a special name. For example, Baronet is the oldest son and has the right to be called sir. Also, Gentleman is a man who was born into a rich family or a good social class. When being born in the middle class (landowners), they had to make money by farming (Grace).

The Role of Class in Evelina What is the definition of "class"? Burney expresses how class is viewed in the eighteenth century society through the novel Evelina. In the novel, Burney exposes to the reader different classes of characters from the aristocrats to the merchants to the commoners and to the prostitutes. Burney also reveals how different character defines the word "class." Madame Duval thinks money and material are sufficient qualifications to belong to the high society. Mrs. Beaumont believes that a person's class is set by birth; the social class one is born into defines one's social status. However, Burney seems to disagree with both of the characters. Through the character of the heroine Evelina, Burney

Concepts of Family and Home in Jane Austen's Persuasion In Jane Austen's last completed novel, Persuasion, England is one large family with two distinct branches, the navy and the aristocratic upper class-it is no accident that the two large books consulted in the novel are the Baronetage and the Naval

In fact, Eliot does stage various intersections between the two classes that overall affect how the events unfold in the novel. Some of the examples are how Dunstan enters Silas’s house looking for money, how Godfrey was married to a low-class wife and Silas ends up raising Godfrey’s child. Moreover, there is also more social mobility, as can be seen when Eppie has the chance to move from a weaver’s daughter to a ‘lady’ – a noun used to address women of respectable family backgrounds. In conjunction to this, even though the gentries regard themselves as superiors to the working-class/ middle-class people, they are not negatively portrayed as overly oppressive ruling class, for they remain relatively polite to the latter. This is illustrated in the conversation between Silas Marner and the Cass couple regarding the adoption of Eppie. Despite Godfrey’s assumption that he had every right to claim Eppie, instead of forcing Silas into doing it their way, the couple acted tactfully, pointing out how it was right for Eppie to fill in ‘the duty [she]owes to your lawful father [Godfrey]’ and eventually leaving the final decision to the young girl. Therefore, the social relationships in ‘Silas Marner’ are still flexible and reflective of a more easy-going social hierarchy in country towns in
