For example the “evil” stepmother, Margarethe’s actions performs are inherently evil, and rude towards her stepdaughter, but because she is a widow struggling to ensure that she and her two daughters survive.

Mrs Bennet is one of the main comical characters in the book. She isn’t the brightest of women and her sole aim is to marry her daughters off to rich young men and she will do anything she can to achieve this. At the Netherfield ball Austen shows how Mrs Bennet’s overly direct, loud comments are an embarrassment to her husband and daughters as she loudly tells the guests on her table her mission to marry off her daughters.

Girls “play” at sexuality starts at a young age with games such as “I’ll show you mine if you show me yours” or “Doctor”.

In this vignette Rafela is a girl, whom also married young, her husband keeps her locked in their apartment because she is to pretty, to the point where he thinks she will be stolen away from him because of her beauty. Again the dominant is Rafela’s husband and Rafela herself is the submissive. She just like Sally is stuck with an obsessive abusive man, that no matter what she can’t leave him because she has nowhere else to go. I disagreed with the way Sandra Ciserno wrote the gender role parts of the book.
