  Jane Austen has often been considered a womanwho led a narrow, inhibited life and who rarely traveled. These assertions arefar from the truth. Jane Austen traveled more than most women of her time andwas quite involved in the lives of her brother, so much that it ofteninterfered with her writing. Like most writers, Jane drew on her experiencesand her dreams for the future and incorporated them into her writing. Hercharacters reflect the people around her; the main characters reflect parts ofherself. In Sanse and Sensibility and Pride and Prejudice, Elinor Dashwood andElizabeth Bennet reflect aspects of Jane Austen and dreams she had that werenever fulfilled.

Thebiographies about Jane Austen describe the facts of her life in a step-by-stepmanner. They tend to be repetitive since she did not leave behind a rich fabricof day-to-day life. Yet Jane Austen is known not because of the factual detailsof her life; she is not remembered two hundred years after her death becauseshe had six siblings and was a wonderful aunt to her nieces and nephews.Rather, Jane Austen is remembered because of what she wrote. Only throughreading her literature does one get a taste of the real Jane Austen, the JaneAusten who dreamed and made plans for the future that failed to materialize.Only by analyzing June Austen’s characters do we get an understanding of thetrue author.

Senseand Sensibility’s Elinor Dash wood mirrors June Austen’s strait-laced sense ofpropriety and her concern and care about family members. For example, after herfather died, Jane managed to get herself through and send her father’s pocketcompass and pair of scissors to her brother Frank as a memento of their father.Elinor in Sense and Sensibility is the sister who holds down the family anddiscusses the practicality of situations. She too distributes cherishedmementos of her father when he dies. Elinor is the sister who is concerned withthe welfare of her relations and takes it upon herself to look after theirwell-being.

Janecan also be considered the backbone of her family. After she dies, the familyis not as close as they were during her lifetime. Jane became very close withtwo of her nieces, Fanny Austen and Anna Austen. She counseled them on men andmarriage when they reached the age of choosing a suitor. She often helped withdelivering her sister-in-law’s babies. During her thirties, she lived with herbrother Frank for several weeks. She cooked the meals for his family and caredfor his children while his wife was confined to her bed. Like the character shecreates in Elinor, she slicks by her family and helps them when they need her.

Austen’slife closely parallels that of Elizabeth Bennet in Pride, and Prejudice. Austenbegins the novel with the line, “It is a truth universally acknowledged, that asingle man in possession of u fortune, must be in want of a wife”. Thisstatement reflects the opinion of the time that a woman had to be married orelse she had no social standing. Just as Elizabeth and her sisters feel immensepressure to get married and procure a good match, so too did Jane. Until shewas twenty-five she still retained a small spark of hope that she would one daymarry and have children.

Themost significant similarity between Jane and Lizzy is their close relationshipswith their sisters. Jane and her sister Cassandra were extremely close. Whenthey moved into a house in Chawton, they shared a bedroom. They were dependentupon each other and supported each other in all aspects of their lives. Theysupported each other’s decisions and wrote to each other when apart. Lizzy andher older sister Jane were extremely close. They too supported each other’sdecisions and were always there for the other. They discussed suitors andmarriage just as Jane and her sister must have done.

Allof Jane’s female characters end up happily married, a state Jane herself neverfelt. A woman was defined in terms of her husband; if she did not marry, shehad nothing. Well into her twenties, Jane still had dreams of getting married.When she was twenty-five, Harris Bigg-Wither, a brother of her good friends,proposed marriage to Jane. At first she accepted: she would become mistress ofa large estate, and be able to ensure the comfort of her parents to the end oftheir days. Most importantly, she would have children and raise a family of herown. The next day, however, Jane reneged the proposal. She did not love him anddid not want a marriage based on nothing but money. After this proposal, Janegave up all hopes of ever having a family of her own. Instead, she fulfilledher dreams through her characters and found “passion” through them. All hercharacters marry for love (which happens to also be financially advantageous).They make Jane’s dreams become a reality within her imagination.     . As children reflect upon theparents and often mirror aspects of their parents, so too did many of Jane’scharacters mirror herself and the people around her.

Manybelieve that personality is nothing more than basic characteristics andfeatures that make us different from others. But surprisingly scientificstudies have linked personality types with considerable health risks. Accordingto studies from the university of Nottingham and the University of California,personality types can shape our immune systems as a deciding factor fordiseases we are more likely to come down with participants in these studieswere grouped and identified by various common personalities. Researchersdiscovered certain personality types were more likely to develop diseases,while others were not.

If you’re an extrovert(性格外向者),you'relikely to be outgoing, social and energized by being around others. It's goodnews that studies find extroverts have stronger immune systems. However,extroverts are more likely to suffer from higher blood pressure and cancers. toprevent these health problems, you should limit your late nights out to ensureyou get enough rest overall restrict junk food and sugar intake as much aspossible, and increase intake of vitamins and minerals by eating plenty ofvegetables.

However, agreeable personalities should also heed(留心)theirdoctors recommendations since they re more likely to suffer from short-termdiseases. you may suffer from-increased stress, often caused by agreeing torequests you shouldn’t have, or overweight possibly caused by giving in to theover-generous mature of others. To avoid these problems, you should learn tosay no when you need to take care of yourself and release stress by taking thetime to relax your mind and body.

    Contrary to what you may be thinking now,woes are not at as much risk of health issues as you may think there are twobroad categories of worriers: ones who are extremely worried and others who areworried in a healthy way. Thankfully, most of us are on the healthy side!However, those who are extremely worried are more likely to develop depressiondue to excessive worry. What's more, their increased stress from habitualworrying can lead to overeating, drinking, and smoking. If you're a worrier,you can calm down your mind by trying practicing yoga every day if you start tofeel down, remember to concentrate on the positive- in life.
