Austen's first true love was Tom Lefroy. They both spent some quality time together and feel deeply in love. There was one major thing holding them back, and it was the expectation of Lefroy’s family. Since Lefroy was the oldest son, he was expected to do things well and efficient. Tom Lefroy’s family did not think Jane Austen met the requirements because she was not rich enough. This lead Austen to let Lefroy go since they could not go any further.
After all the research I did about her romance life, I came to a conclusion how she wrote great romantic novels. The reason being is because she has already experienced love. As girls, we do fantasy about our life especially with love. Even though Austen did not end up with the one she love, she probably learn it from other people's relationships.
