Both of Jane Austen's following novels, Pride and Prejudice and Sense and Sensibility, are novels of purpose. These novels use the elements of love, individual rights, and moral perfection throughout the stories. These elements of love, individual rights and moral perfection are mainly shown from the perspective of relationships. There are people who try to tamper with the elements of love, others with individual rights, and some who suffer from moral imperfection. All in all, these elements together create a novel with purpose. The element of love plays an important role in both Pride and Prejudice and Sense and Sensibility.

Elizabeth meets Mr. Wickham who is a soldier. Mr. Wickham tells Elizabeth how he was mistreated by Darcy. Elizabeth feels this is another reason to hate him. Another reason why Elizabeth hates Mr. Darcy is because Mr. Darcy sabotaged a relationship involving Elizabeth's sister Jane and Mr. Darcy's best friend Mr. Bingly. Mr. Darcy, thinking that the love between him and Elizabeth is unconditional, proposes to Elizabeth. Elizabeth promptly rejects the proposal because of how she thinks Mr. Darcy has treated Mr. Wickham and because of Mr. Darcy's alleged involvement in Jane and Mr. Bingly's breakup. Saddened by Elizabeth's rejection, Mr. Darcy, writes a letter to Elizabeth. In the letter Mr. Darcy explains to Elizabeth how Mr. Wickham tried to obtain part of Darcy's fortune by marrying Darcy's younger sister, Georgiana. Mr. D......middle of paper......al imperfection. John Willoughby has an illegitimate son that not many people know about at first. Edward Ferrars is secretly engaged, it shouldn't happen.

Marianne develops feelings for John based on her senses only to discover that he was not the man she thought he was. Marianne was reassured when she married the colonel, a man who was actually good for her. Both novels, Pride and Prejudice and Sense and Sensibility, meet the criteria for a novel with a purpose. The purpose of these novels was to convey the elements of love, individual rights and moral perfection. Most people can identify with at least one of these three things at one time or another in their lives. Ultimately most can identify with both or one of these stories, making them great examples of fiction with a purpose.
