Sacrifice is a huge theme in Jane Austen's novels. Each main heroine makes sacrifices in their own way. However, Emma is the least sacrificial. She is also the only only heroine with a fortune. She does not need to sacrifice money for love.
Anne is poor and must marry money as does Elizabeth, Elinor/Marianne, Catherine, and Fanny. What is interesting is that each of these women (except Elinor) marries for love and gets money too.
Jane Austen tells the same story through the eyes of 6 women. I wonder if she did not tell the stories of other women in lower classes because it would not be interesting or because she was not able to see through their eyes.
