Social Acceptance

Is trying to be moral and thoughtful against society’s principles? At least that is what the relationships in Pride and Prejudice show. Women marry for money while men do it for beauty. Is society so simple and decadent? Are there any exceptions to this in the novel? At least we know that societal acceptance plays a fundamental role in the understanding of relationships and marriage. Parental guidance seems to do its own social pressure to marry someone of a determined social class. But, what happens if we go against it? Do we end up lonely? Can we reconcile our true love and passions with society’s inherent pressures?
