Northanger Abbey, Jane Austen's another amazing work, talks about how important and crucial is being loyal in a relationship, whether it being an intimate one or a genuine one with our beloved. It is a story of a young teenage girl, who tries to be like any other girl at that age.

Explanation:

Northanger Abbey starts off with the introduction catherine Morland. Her age is specified to be 17 years and she has four elder brothers and five siblings younger to her, a total of 10 children to her parents.

Jane Austen describes and explains to her readers about Catherine in a special way, in contrast to what we usually read about female protagonists in stories. Catherine was described to have sallow skin, lanky hair and sharp features. She was more inclined towards playing all ball games, mostly cricket and was having lesser than less interest in looking out for kitchen sets, wood house sets, dorm house plays. She looked out for work on her own and was inattentive to things that she didn't have an interest in.

Her ability to learn 'The hare and Many Friends' as quickly as possible and better than any other girl in England and not being able to say 'Beggar's Petition despite her mother teaching her several times tell readers how she takes control of her choices. She was less clean and very happy to jump down and roll on the green grass near their house.
