Chapters 36-40

Think of Satire
1. exaggeration, sarcasm, irony
2. of situations, society, people's shortcomings
3. to evoke change or bring to light

Austen uses Wit as a Weapon!  she loves coincidences, situational irony, misunderstandings.  They are human and real and the perfect time to view "real life" and authentic personalities.
