“…i question whether marianne now, will marry a man worth more than five or six hundred a-year…” this reply is an example of which theme?

I do not know if this is a multiple choice question or not, but I would argue that this reply is related to the theme of arranged marriages or marriages of convenience within the context of the marriage market. The expression "a man worth more than five or six hundred a-year…” indicates that it was the candidate's yearly income, and not qualities such as his intelligence, his sympathy, his sense of humor, or his rapport with the marriageable woman, the determining factor when choosing him as her future husband, since the goal was to guarantee her a comfortable life - not necessarily a happy one. This turned the marriage into a business or a deal rather than into the voluntary and loving union of two people.

it is c because i got it right on my test
