The introduction of the characters Written by Carol J. (9/5/2009 10:16 p.m.) in consequence of the missive, Introducing Fanny & the novel's title theme., penned by Rachel G

It is interesting that Jane Austen's introduction of the characters consists entirely of a description of their personalities and behavior traits. Although we can attempt to assign ages to them by creating a mental timeline of events, she gives no physical descriptions of the characters at the time we meet them.
