The theme of youth is evident throughout the novel. The main characters are young and just starting their lives. They all mature in one way or another, especially Catherine and Isabella.
Catherine grows from a young girl, to a young woman who is ready be married and live her life.
Isabella on the other hand goes int he opposite direction, reverting a more in a dishonorable way. The contrast of youth a growing up is something that her readers are able to understand. If we were to take a look at the relationship between Catherine and Henry we'd see how Austen plays the maturity roles against each other. Catherine the innocent against the older and more experienced Henry. Throughout the novel, we as readers are able to sympathize with Catherine as she matures.
