In Book IV of “Confessions‚” St. Augustine is talking to God about the death of a close friend and how he feels nothing but sorrow. He realizes that everything on this Earth is mortal‚ and by his tone‚ it fills him with sadness. As he continues with his prayer‚ St. Augustine begins to question his emotions and belief in God.

Nietzsche has critiqued the happiness in modernism that it prohibits critical thinking.

The greatest example of this would be the failed love between Catherine and Heathcliff where he states‚ “Catherine Earnshaw‚ may you not rest as long

I groaned lazily and walked towards the bathroom and start stripping off my clothes and settling myself down for a warm shower.

Through the use of her novel‚ Pride and Prejudice‚ Jane Austen critiques her era’s view of marriage. By examining several of Austen’s narrations‚ Charlotte Lucas’s nearly mechanical approach to marriage‚ and Mrs. Bennet’s relentlessly pragmatic wish to see her daughters married‚ it becomes evident that Austen does not view society’s definition of marriage in a positive light.
