You could approach it by comparing it to modern "chick lit." In romance and chick lit writing circles (I'm a romance author), Jane Austen is often referred to as the creator of the first chick lit novels.
So basically, you'd be comparing and contrasting the romance, satire and dry wit of Jane Austen to her modern counterparts (Helen Fielding and Bridget Jones's Diary; Sophie Kinsella and her Shopaholic series of books, for example.)
This is how I'd approach it.

Pick your favorite character and discuss how they are either typical or atypical for the time in which the story takes place. Discuss the character's development - how they grow from the beginning of the book to the end, what they learn, how they relate to other characters and why you chose them as a favorite character.

Probably on the role of class on values. You can find alot of social science type research through your library so sources wont be difficult, as well the novel should yield many passages that hint at this topic.
