Note

Northanger Abbey, and Persuasion In one volume.

"Northanger Abbey" and "Persuasion" by Jane Austen are funny because they masterfully employ irony, satire, and witty social commentary to highlight the absurdities of the society they depict. In "Northanger Abbey," the protagonist Catherine Morland's naive and extravagant Gothic novel-inspired fantasies collide hilariously with the mundane realities of Bath society. Meanwhile, "Persuasion" subtly pokes fun at the vanity and social pretensions of its characters while exploring the themes of second chances and lost love. Both novels feature memorable characters with quirks and foibles that add humor to the narrative, and Austen's clever dialogue and astute narrator's commentary infuse the stories with wit and amusement, making them timeless classics of comedic literature.
