-One Point I agree with is the point that Jane Austen detests Mrs. Bennet. Although I find detest too strong of a word, I feel that Austen does portray her in a negative light. Austen's personality relates closest to Elizabeth's, which is the polar opposite of Mrs. Bennet. Austen also believes that marriage should be for love not economic progress, which relates to Elizabeth's attitude, and differs from Mrs. Bennet. However, I do feel that Austen has respect for Mrs. Bennet because she does have an individual personality, but she does not agree or approve with her way of thinking.
-One point I disagree with the claim that Austen as a satirist is misleading. I believe Austen creates a clear picture in where she uses satire to poke fun at how society of her time worked. Again, Austen closely relates to Elizabeth and Elizabeth does not agree with the society norms at that time. Both Austen and Elizabeth at society with dislike because of their differing views such as marriage for love. I believe Austen's satire is clear at poking fun at society, not as a negative way, but as a playful one.
