Jane Austen's Qualities as a Novelist

 

The author Jane Austen is widely considered one of the greatest writers in the English literature canon. Although she wrote in a time period where women were expected to be quiet and meek, she defied these expectations, becoming a popular and successful author in her lifetime. This is largely due to her excellent skills as a novelist. In this blog, I will be discussing some of the key qualities that would make Jane Austen a successful author.

1. Jane Austen's use of language

Jane Austen uses a lot of irony to make humorous points in her novels. For example, when the reader first meets Emma, she is described as a young and beautiful woman who is dressed in a white gown with a red sash around her waist. However, the reader soon learns that she is not as young and beautiful as she seems. Another example is when she describes the characters as being "dressed in white" in the opening chapter of Northanger Abbey. This is ironic because the reader learns that the protagonist Catherine is dressed in a white gown in the very next chapter.

2. Jane Austen's use of style

Jane Austen is often credited with the use of style in her novels. It is said that she is the person who "popularized" the use of style in novels. It is also said that she is the person who is credited with the use of the ironic in novels. She is often known as the first novelist to use the ironic style in her novels. For example, in the novel, Pride and Prejudice, there is a scene where Mr. Darcy tells Elizabeth Bennet that he had a change of heart. He then goes on to say that he would be happy to have her as his wife. When she says she would like to be his wife, he says, "I am afraid you are too late." The ironic style is often used in Jane Austen's novels. The use of the ironic style is a way for the author to present a different point of view from another character's. It is a way for the author to show how two different characters are thinking about the same situation.

3. Jane Austen's use of characterization

In my opinion, Jane Austen is an excellent novelist because she uses characterization to make her story more believable. She also uses dialogue to make her characters more likable. Furthermore, she uses the language and form of the novel to make her story more interesting. Lastly, she uses the plot to make her story more meaningful.
