AHHH!! i have to write a 6 page paper on Jane Austen's view of marriage. This sucks. Is anyone out there familiar with Austen and her view on this topic? Know of any good resources to use for such a paper?

You might want to try reading some of her books! ;) Seriously, they're great...very funny is a subtle, smart way, and very wise about human nature. Try Pride and Prejudice, Emma, or Persuasion (Persuasion's my personal fav).

Her views on marriage:

The well-bred girl with common sense always gets her man in the end, even if she might not recognize him in in the beginning.
