g to a new wealthy family, they will be able to take care of the rest of their family. In conclusion, I think that marrying purely for financial reasons isn’t good because that doesn’t really lead to happiness. As displayed in the book, The Way of the World by William Congreve, the character named Mrs. Fainall was very unhappy in her marriage to Mr. Fainall. Mr. Fainall only married Mrs. Fainall for her money, and Mrs. Fainall was unhappy because she couldn’t marry the person who she was in love with. I think that love is the strongest emotion that a person can ever feel in their lives. It can have the power to override all sense of reason. Elizabeth disregarded her ill feelings toward Mr. Darcy in the end because she knew deep down inside how she felt about him. Mr. Darcy couldn’t hold back his love any longer, and decided to take a chance and propose to a woman whom he knew didn’t like him that much. Love is all about taking chances on your feelings and following your heart. The people who don’t listen to their feelings will eventually wind up questioning why they decided to take the path that they did. I think this story portrays the strength of other people’s opinions and how those opinions can influence a person to do something completely opposite than what they set out to do. I think Mrs. Bennet’s influence has truly corrupted all the women of the household except Lizzy. I think Lizzy really wasn’t searching for that wealthy man to get married to right at that moment. I think she just wanted to enjoy life and take everything one day at a time. The other sisters are exhibiting behaviors similar to their mother’s. For example, when Kitty and Lydia are constantly running into town to hear the latest gossip and to flirt with all the soldiers in town. I think the aristocratic views of this society have corrupted the minds of the young teenage girl of that time period....
