When Hedda first appears in the play, she is a cool character who has control of her emotions and actions. Her maiden name is Hedda Gabler. It is also the title of the play which shows that Hedda has not abandoned her independence, she married because she is getting old.

Hedda married George because he was going to be wealthy, and she would have money to secure her life and have funds to throw parties.
And I hope she’ll be a fool-that’s the best thing a girl can be in this world, a beautiful little fool.” (Fitzgerald, p.21) It means that women in some manner used to be discriminated in the 1920’s. Besides, all she mentions can be seen as something that portrays herself. Because in some stage in her life she feels discriminated at the time she is in love with Gatsby, so she cannot marry him because Daisy was wealthy and he does not. Another similar case can be seen when Jay Gatsby feels uncomfortable with his life before he becomes a millionaire. That is, Jay Gatsby changes in some sense whole his life into a “better one” alongside the high class people.
He has a very high social status, other girls want to marry him. Darcy's prejudices about Lizzie's family are proven to be right.

They were famous, but they were not heroines because their lives depended on who their husbands were. They were good or bad only when you look at their lives with their husbands and
Your place in society was extremely important and made a huge impact on who you married. Upper and lower classes were not to be mixed and if done so, you were looked down upon. This concept is shown when Lady Bracknell interviews John before allowing her daughter, Gwendolen, to be with him. She has no interest in approving of John until she finds out that he is in fact from a very wealthy background. Wilde also does a good job of mocking the way men and women think of each other.
The first line in Pride and Prejudice sets the theme for the entire novel, “It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife.” This line explains the motivation of majority of the women in the nineteenth century England. A wealthy single man is very attractive to women who want to improve their social standing amongst the society in which they live in. Thus enter Darcy and Bingley, two wealthy bachelors who could easily improve the social status of any family that they were to marry into. Mrs. Bennet’s obsession with improving her family’s social status has caused her to aggressively encourage her daughters to gain the attention of these two gentlemen. In the past, her aggressive nature towards suitors for her daughters has been a negative attribute, which is why her daughters are single up until this point.
Mr and Mrs Bennet are the parents of Elizabeth, Jane, Lydia, Kitty and Mary and have a significant role in raising their five daughters to supposedly be well mannered and to eventually marry a wealthy man who will look after them. Their financial position is not extravagant but they lead comfortable lives. Both of whom are from the upper middle class but admire superior rank to themselves, especially Mrs Bennet, who hopes that one day her daughters will all marry rich bachelors. Their characters are completely different and Austen makes this clear in the novel. Mrs Bennet is a ‘woman of mean understanding, little information and uncertain temper’ compared to her husband who is ‘a mixture of quick parts, sarcastic humour, reserve and caprice’, which could be argued that they are not a good match for each other.
Looks can be deceiving and I believe this statement plays a great role in this story. The main character, Mathilde, encounters a situation where she feels as though she belongs in a higher class based off her beautiful looks. She is neither wealthy nor comes from a family of wealth but feels as though she deserves as much because of her appearance. Unsatisfied with her lifestyle, Mathilde noticeably expresses her dilemma by complaining to her husband, Monsieur Loisel that she doesn’t want to attend the special event because she has nothing of higher class to wear. Mathilde then borrowed her rich friend Madame Forestier’s necklace, and at that moment, I could already foreshadow something bad to happen.
