I am pleased to see that Cecilia is no helpless damsel in distress. Despite the numerous social and legal constraints, she attempts to break free from her current bad company and—guided by her own good principles—take control of her life.

“Oh! It is only a novel!” replies the young lady [...]. “It is only Cecilia, or Camilla, or Belinda”; or, in short, only some work in which the greatest powers of the mind are displayed, in which the most thorough knowledge of human nature, the happiest delineation of its varieties, the liveliest effusions of wit and humour, are conveyed to the world in the best-chosen language. - J. Austen, Northanger Abbey
