Weldon’s character Aunt Fay is just like Jane Austen, as your woman teaches her niece Alice to read, become appreciative of her globe and develop empathy for those who are less fortunate. Through Aunt Fay’s didacticism, your readers see a changing Alice, similarly to Elizabeth Bennet’s character modification in Satisfaction and Bias.
In Weekend, written by Fay Weldon, it is the opposite case for poor Martha and her husband, Martin. In the beginning of this story, it clearly proves that Martha is a very busy woman. Weldon digs right into her getting the house packed up and the children ready to leave for their weekend house. She is dressing the children, preparing the food.
