Nous proposons la thèse suivante : le cadre sémantique des romans Orgueil et préjugé et Mansfield Park est créé par le contraste entre les deux sens du mot « consequence », incluant le sens archaïque d’importance sociale ou émotionnelle, et le sens commun et habituel qui dit l’effet produit par une cause. Nous suggérons également que la structure narrative des romans est un jeu de conséquences (« a game of consequences »), un jeu pratiqué à l’époque de Jane Austen.
