Caricature

Today we started the lesson drawing Mr Francis..
Then went on to discuss how Austen  creates character caricature in Pride and prejudice, in writing my essay i feel that she not only exxagerates characters to emphasise their personality traits, but she also simplifies many aspects of her characters;
Mrs Bennet is marriage obsesses we know that,however,it is almost simplified by Austen as she doesn't delve into why Mrs Bennet is marriage obsessed! This is interesting for Austen to do, i feel it made me want to read on whilst reading Pride and prejudice, maybe this was the reason she did it!?
