From Quicklet on Jane Austen's Love and Friendship:
“Why are all the female characters so boring?” my eleven year old daughter asked me, peering up through her thick glasses. We had just seen yet another animated movie. “No one is ironic, at all. They are all pretty and sweet. Blech.”
Jane Austen clearly shared my daughter’s lament, and spent her life writing novels that subverted and sometimes outright lampooned the popular literary tropes of her time. Love and Friendship is one of Austen’s earliest works, written when the author was only 14, and is penned with broadest literary strokes. The series of letters from the hapless Laura to the young Marianne creates a story that can be described, as her nephew J. E. Austen Leigh puts it, as “a burlesque.”
Like most girls, I was first introduced to Jane Austen when Pride and Prejudice was assigned by my tenth grade English teacher. When I read “it is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife.” I took it as a truth universally acknowledged. Life’s experiences have taught me to appreciate the rich irony and intelligence with which Austen crafted the story of the Bennett sisters, and the story of Love and Friendship of poor Laura and her crowd. The irony is less elegant, less subtle, but the intelligence is fierce and mordant and the prose is a delight.

From Pride & Sensibility: A Biography of Beloved Novelist Jane Austen:
A common theme in Austen’s works is the idea that finances and social rank outweigh morals. Characters with questionable morals, such as Wickham in Pride and Prejudice, Mary Crawford in Mansfield Park and Willoughby in Sense and Sensibility are driven by financial gain. Often the very best characters have little money or stature, as seen in Elizabeth Bennet of Pride and Prejudice and Elinor in Sense and Sensibility.
However, Austen doesn’t villanize the rich. Several characters with high social ranking and money also have good values, such as Mr. Darcy in Pride and Prejudice, and Mr. Ferrars and Col. Brandon in Sense and Sensibility. Austen’s stories often revolve around the challenges faced by those who have reputations to maintain, but morals that contradict social decorum. For example, Mr. Darcy who is held in high esteem, knows that Elizabeth Bennett is not only below his station, but her family’s behavior is an embarrassment.
