This lecture helped me clear up the ending, as I didn’t quite understand that Miss Manwaring was in debt and that the narrator had the intention to cause the audience to pity her. I do think that the epistolary style of the novel allows us to identify with Lady Susan’s character and understand her, rather than just solely seeing her as an ‘unkind Mother.’ Lady Susan is quite different from Austen’s other heroines in many ways, especially with the fact that she is a woman having an affair with a married man.
