Jane Austen
Life experience
Jane Austen (16 December 1775 – 18 July1817) was born in Steverton,
Hampshire, where her father was a rector. She was the second daughter and seventh child in a family of eight . She was tutored at home. Her parents were avid readers and she received a broader education than many women of her time
In 1796, at the age of 20, Jane met Tom Lefroy, an Irish man, and fell in love at the first glance. However, Tom was a penniless student of law who is entirely dependent upon his rich uncle for his allowance. Jane and Tom are unsuited to one another so, of course, they fall madly in love. This liaison(指男女结合)does not please Jane‘s mother,who wants her daughter to marry someone with a fortune. Equally irate(愤怒的) about the attachment is Lady Gresham,whose dull, humorless nephew intends to make a marriage proposal(求婚) to Jane
On the other hand, Jane’s father , encourages her to do what suits her soul. Money and the comforts it can bring are desirable(合心意的), but they are not everything. While Jane pursues a romance with Tom, she indulges(放纵) her other passion(强烈的情感): writing. Pride and Prejudice begins to take shape with Elizabeth Bennett marking the fictional representation of her creator
Because of many different reasons , they broke up later . A lot years later , Tom Lefroy had a successful career as a lawyer and became Lord Chief Justice of Ireland. He named his eldest daughter Jane. Neither Jane nor her sister Cassandra ever married
