Prejudice by Jane Austen.
Which sentence from the excerpt reveals the social
status aspect of the setting?
When the ladies were separating for the toilette, he
said to Elizabeth
"Do not make yourself uneasy, my dear cousin, about
your apparel. Lady Catherine is far from requiring that
elegance of dress in us which becomes herself and her
daughter. I would advise you merely to put on whatever
of your clothes is superior to the rest—there is no
occasion for anything more. Lady Catherine will not
think the worse of you for being simply dressed. She
likes to have the distinction of rank preserved."

What is social status?

Social status actually refers to one's social standing among other people in a group or situation. There is ascribed social status which one obtains due to the person being born with them. There is the acquired social status which one obtains as a result of position in society or a group.

From the excerpt, we can see that pointing to Elizabeth not to dress elegantly in front of Lady Catherine even though that is how Lady Catherine and her daughter are actually points out that Lady Catherine social status has to do with someone who is wealthy. The setting gives a picture of peasant people coming to see a wealthy personality.
