    making the reader feel superior to Catherine when they find her behaviour endearing or annoying. Jane Austen achieves this by showing how much Catherine worries for her relationships with the Tilneys, especially after a horrible incident with the Thorpe family and by using strong language for her character. Also, Jane Austen interests the reader in Catherine by mocking the behaviour of Gothic romance novel heroines by using Catherine's personality and behaviour as a parody of that. Firstly, Jane
