Love, Marriage and Courtship
  1. “no young lady can be justified in falling in love before the gentleman’s love is declared, it must be very improper that a young lady should dream of a gentleman before the gentleman is first known to have dreamt of her” pg. 24
    1. Marriage
      1. The question of wealth and the money that will come with marriage
        1. Forms a large part of Isabella's decisons
          1. James has money yet Captain Tilney proposes more
          2. Spikes the General's interest in Catherine
          3. Marriage was a way to increase one's fortune
            1. For a woman it was the only way to do so
            2. A man asks; a woman's choice is only to accept or refuse
              1. “You will allow, that in both, man has the advantage of choice, woman only the power of refusal” Pg. 82
              2. Marriage as a contract in which the two spouses must work to be agreeable to one another and keep each other from ever regretting having married
                1. Rather than love as a magical state of emotional attachment and physical attraction
                  1. “it is their duty, each to endeavour to give the other no cause for wishing that he or she had bestowed themselves elsewhere, and their best interest to keep their own imaginations from wandering towards the perfections of their neighbours, or fancying that they should have been better off with any one else.” Pg. 82
                2. Catherine and Henry
                  1. Catherine is attracted to Henry, and it is her obvious love for him, rather than his admiration of her, that bind him to her
                    1. “a persuasion of her partiality for him had been the only cause of giving her a serious thought.” Pg. 276
                    2. The General's interference only strengthens their relationship
                      1. “the General's unjust interference, so far from being really injurious to their felicity, was perhaps rather conducive to it, by improving their knowledge of each other, and adding strength to their attachment” pg. 286
                    3. Isabella and James/Captain Tilney
                      1. Henry claims he will not interfere as Isabella must prove her own loyalty to James to prove her love for him
                        1. “You have no doubt of the mutual attachment of your brother and your friend; depend upon it therefore, that real jealousy never can exist between them; depend upon it that no disagreement between them can be of any duration” Pg. 169
                      2. Eleanor and the 'Viscount'
                        1. She is only permitted to marry him once he has aquired a status that General TIlney approves of
                        2. The contrast between Isabella's pursuit of marriage and Catherine's desire to be with Henry
