Article "Jane Austen's "Must": The Will and the World. p. 127. Boyd's article discusses Austen's use of the word "must" and in the process teaches us about modal auxiliaries and how they have a feature she calls hypothetical or nonactual, ranging from possibility to necessity, obligation, and permission. How Austen uses these modes to great comedic effect is explored with examples ranging from Catherine Moreland to Emma and Mary Crawford - and how Austen's characters' speech can carry two meanings at once.
