How important was beauty at that time?

Pride and prejudice has showed to us how people live in the 18^th century. And moreover, how people were in that époque. Beauty was and it wasn’t important for me in that period of time.

On the one hand, I think that beauty was important because people want to live their life next to a beautiful/handsome person. Why? Because they want to show to the other people the “trophy” that they have won. Nowadays, it isn’t as different, because a lot of people want to be with a person who is attractive, and not for how the person is.

On the other hand, I think that there were more important things that beauty, like money. People want to be next a person who had a lot of money, as shows the book. And I can understand that if you are father or mother, you want that your sons and daughters be happy and have all the things that they need for live during they life, but it isn’t the most important thing. Nowadays, we live in a open-minded society, and we find some cases like Pride and Prejudice, but in most cases people are together because they love each other, and not for the money that have your partner have in the bank.
