[quote=Anonymous]They weren't doing anything else with their youbg adulthoods. They didn't go to college or work outside the home. Their goal (and their parents") was to marry. So you would do that as soon as possible and get the best match you could. If they didn't marry, they were a financial burden on their parents. Women could not inherit so they needed to marry to survive or failing that, move in with relatives. That is the plot of Sense and Sensibility. The two sisters are being displaced because their brother and his wife are inheriting the house. IIRC, the wife doesn't want them there. I can't remember now, but something like that.[/quote]
