Harding accurately identifies the importance and accuracy of Austin's criticisms of the British class structures in the 1800. Elizabeth's 'modern' attitude toward marriage, as Harding points out, juxtaposes Charlotte's eager acceptance of a marriage with Mr. Collins she is not particularly thrilled with. Also, most characters accept Lady Catherine De Burg's aragence towards others highlights the respect for those with wealth in society.
However, the novel is not a comedic depiction of these issues because of Austin's lack of interest in the issue, but it is comedic to prevent herself from being austricized by the very society she was writing about. This is criticle to understand when reading the novel, since understanding the reasoning behind her use of satire can change the reader's understanding of the author's view on the issues.
