AB This research analyzes marriage and the social status of women in some of the most important novels by Jane Austen: Emma, Pride and Prejudice and Sense and Sensibility. The aim is to determine the types of marriages of that period on account of the social status, age or even love. Jane Austen creates a female character involved in the marriage plot as a heroine and she includes courtship in her novels. The novels chosen show the different types of marriages extant in Austen’s social context. The historical, social, economic and cultural context of the novels has been studied in order to show the manners of Austen’s time, the division of the social classes, gender roles and the importance of marriage for social organization. Finally, this research proves that Jane Austen gives her readers a lesson by using satire and comedy.
