Could you explain? I was thinking of characters like bugs bunny. I never considered an author.

Jane Austen tricked made people believe that her books are soapy love stories, while she's one of the most interesting and experimental writers and a merciless ironist and points out all the hypocrisy of her time. This is transparent in the following sentence that Austen writes in Pride and Prejudice: “For what do we live, but to make sport for our neighbors, and laugh at them in our turn?” Look at all her books: you think marriage is about love? Sure, but it's actually about money and posesions like in "Sense and Sensibility". Or take "Nightmare Abbey", you think it's about spooky gothic things, in the end, as it turns out, nope, it's all fake. Look at "Pride and Prejudice" where you can see throughout the novel that there's clearly a war happening (the Napoleonic wars), but no one ever mentions it, and every single one of these humble rich people is concerned only with the fact of who is going to marry who. Or look at "Mansfield Park" where the "perfect" love story ends with *spoilers* incest. Or look oon "Emma", where throughout the novel we, the reader, are told and reminded how much smarter and superior to everyone Emma is, well, it turns out that nope, Emma is a somewhat smart midwit (at best) and spoilet, AND yet she has a heart. Austen is very genuine and compassionate, but in every single novel she plays many many well crafted tricks.
