Could one compare Austen's Sense and Sensibility to Bleak House with regard to the decisions that young adults make based soley upon money and position of their respective societies?
The sisters in Austen's novel are waiting for some a possible husband to marry them so that they will have a "life". The male ward of Mr. Jarndyce seeks his and Ada's rightful inheritance in order to have their "life" determined without any thought of any type of employment. the money seems to be theonly goal of life for him.
