It is obvious from the quote from Dr. Glas that the reverend has done a fairly good job integrating this thought into the cultural sphere.

described as "A single man of large fortune; four or five thousand a year. What a fine thing for our girls!" This presents the ideals of marriage at the time as wealth is the focus rather than the man 's personality or even love between the prospective husband and wife. This shows that Austen adheres to the patriarchal society 's views of women on the topic of marriage, the females in the novel are depicted as weak as they must succumb to the circumstances at the time; none of them are allowed…
