Isabella knows a lot about fashions, balls, and flirtations was known by her conversation with Catherine when she was comparing these thing in Bath with another place (Austen, Chapter 4).

She reads and goes to pump rooms, where wealthy people is her ways of being away from her true status and away from her family financial background. She has to look into the novels to fulfill her hunger of reality she wants. Because of Isabella’s background she sees the reality and want to hide it away and go to the Bath society where she can find the life she wants. Reading her lists of books, is her ways of fulfilling her desires.

from nature. Rousseau would tell a parent to allow their child to read whatever they would like, they their child free their minds and learn from their nature-given instincts. Another interesting reading in class was Hugh Cunningham’s The Invention of Childhood. A Foundling Hospital is a place where children are abandoned, “the hospital aimed to train children in its care for some useful occupation,” (Cunningham 103). These kids “were not encouraged to have high expectations of what might become…

Even without stepping into the museums themselves, an initial sense of what they are about can be felt.
