    Hey elise
    this is quite intriguing, as I always thought I could learn about Jane Austen's time period by reading her stuff.

    I'm wondering if you can pack more into your thesis, maybe either the implications or causes of it. Some answer or suggestion of "why" or "what does this mean."

    Eventhough I disagree with you your thesis made me intrigued as to how you were going to back up your stand point.

    Although my research paper is arguing the exact opposite of this, it definitely has me wanting to read your paper. Interesting theory.
