Pride and Prejudice

How important was beauty at that time?

Beauty always has been a really important quality for a person. For that, people use to take care about their appearance; they want to look as good as they can. That also happened before, as we can see in Pride and Prejudice, guys went to balls to meet all the girls and there they would chose the most beautiful one to dance with. However, girls were interested in the man’s income not in their looks.  Therefore only the most beautiful girls could get the best husbands. At that time the blondes and pale skin, like Jane, were considered the most beautiful girls.

All in all, I agree that the appearance at that time were very important because it helped you to get your future husband.
