# How does The Windfairies develop the theme of Social Class and Marriage?

> The Windfairies by Mary De Morgan

## Answer

The Windfairies by Mary De Morgan develops Social Class and Marriage across the chapters the companion marks for this theme.

Marriage is often depicted as a means to improve social status, as in Kesta's pursuit of wealthier suitors and the shepherd's daughter's rejection of a prince, highlighting tensions between personal desire and societal expectations.

The story highlights the rigid class boundaries: Kesta's attempt to marry the Duke is deemed impertinent because she is a common dairymaid.
