Writing Style
- Uses Comedy to critique portrayal of women
- Ironic tone to express Freedom of Speach
- Strong dialoge and character development
- Included the particular economic situations for women
- Romance was usually a key element
Jane Austen uses Comedy a lot within all of her books and uses parody to criticize how women were treated in the 18th Century.
Her Irony is meant to show how she disregarded social rank in society.
She gives each character a certain voice and tone that plays into the story, she does good at developing characters to personalize the story.

Persuasion
- Romantic genre entangled with comedy and Satire
- Tone free speech critical of characters and situations
- Clear, Sarcastic, and Subtle writing style
- Included many allusions through out the story
She began it soon after she had finished Emma and completed it in August 1816 before She died, aged 41, in 1817
Persuasion is linked to Northanger Abbey not only by the fact that the two books were originally bound up in one volume and published together, but also because both stories are set in the same fashionable city of bath in which she lived from 1801 to 1805.
This story portrays Jane's dislike of the superficial social class of the city bath.
