Pride and Prejudice is well known for its heroine’s moral and social growth. In addition, it ends with a romantic marriage based on personal affection, not on any material motive or familial interests. However, Austen was not a naive or daydreaming novelist, as is evident from her letters to her niece, Fanny Knight. In one of the letters, Austen states that “single women have a dreadful propensity for being poor, which is one very strong argument in favour of matrimony.” This propensity is attributable to the special kind of inheritance system in England, which limited an inheritance to the eldest son. As a material basis for almost all the people’s lives and consciousness in the novel, this social system, the practice of primogeniture or entail, causes many troubles to those in the novel, especially female characters. Women in material crisis have no choice but to marry whoever offers marriage to them, as is shown especially in the cases of the Bennet daughters’ search for husbands and of Charlotte Lucas’s decision to marry Collins “solely from the pure and disinterested desire of an establishment.” In short, although her treatment of it is not only light and comic but also paradoxical, it is apparent that Austen’s concern with the inhuman and antifeministic inheritance system and its effect on women’s existence is very great.
