Northanger Abbey is the Gothic novel by J. Austen

Conclusion
Northanger Abbey follows Catherine Morland and family friends Mr. and Mrs. Allen as they visit Bath, England. Seventeen year-old Catherine spends her time visiting newly made friends, like Isabella Thorpe, and going to balls. Catherine finds herself pursued by Isabella’s brother John Thorpe and by Henry Tilney. She also becomes friends with Eleanor Tilney, Henry’s younger sister. Mr. Henry Tilney captivates her with his view on novels and knowledge of history and the world. The Tilneys invite Catherine to visit their father’s estate, Northanger Abbey, which, because she has been reading Ann Radcliffe’s gothic novel The Mysteries of Udolpho, Catherine expects to be dark, ancient and full of fantastical mystery.
Northanger Abbey is considered a parody of a gothic novel Naïve, innocent, and imaginative, Catherine is the protagonist of the novel. Before going to Bath with the Allens, Catherine has never been away from her family home in Fullerton for an extended period of time. Catherine’s main occupation is reading Gothic novels, particularly Anne Radcliffe’s The Mysteries of Udolpho. This leads her to imagine herself as the heroine of a Gothic murder mystery when she visits the Tilneys at Northanger Abbey. Catherine eventually realizes her mistake and repents her accusations of General Tilney, whom she believed played a part in his wife’s death. Catherine matures over the course of the novel and becomes more independent and adept at assessing the true characters of those around her. Her infatuation with Henry deepens into a genuine affection, and her patience is rewarded by their marriage. Catherine’s brother, James attends Oxford University during the school year, where he enjoys the pleasures of undergraduate life with his friend John Thorpe. James is studying to be a clergyman, although during the course of the novel we only see him in a domestic setting. When James accompanies John on a family vacation to Bath, he falls in love with John’s sister Isabella, and they become engaged. James eventually repents this affair when he discovers Isabella’s disloyalty, and he leaves Bath in a bitter mood. Catherine’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. Moreland play only a minor role in the story. They are depicted as warm, loving, and eager to provide for their children within their limited means. They allow their children to go away for long stretches of time, but they also want their children to appreciate their life at home. This is why Mrs. Morland urges Catherine to readjust quickly to her normal routine after she returns from Bath.That’s all characters as I know.
