The characters allude more easily to the idea of sex and violence, and at one point there is a suicide, but over all it's really tame (especially in relation to modern lit). The character of Cecilia likes to consider herself an honourable young woman so she doesn't often concern herself with characters who might happen to have less moral habits and she does her best to try and distance herself from them. As a result the reader doesn't get to hear or see much from these characters either :)(less)
