It was a source of constant disappointment to Catherine Morland that her life did not more closely resemble her books. Or rather, that the books in which she found its likeness were so unexciting.

Catherine Morland, the protagonist in "Northanger Abbey," experiences persistent frustration because her real life lacks the thrilling elements she finds in the novels she reads. She longs for adventure and intrigue, akin to the stories that fill her imagination, but instead, she faces a mundane reality. This contrast between her expectations and her experiences fuels her discontent.
