Northanger Abbey
Style and Technique
«Northanger Abbey» is characterized by the ironic style typical of Jane Austen's work. A notable feature is the parody of Gothic novels popular in that era. The author uses exaggeration and sarcasm to highlight the absurdity of certain literary clichés. The narrative structure follows the classic development of the plot with descriptions of the internal and external worlds of the characters, the development of their personalities, but with added elements of parody and social critique. The vocabulary and speech style of the characters reflect their social status and character, emphasizing the differences between classes and their perception of the world.
