Long Answer

1. Catherine repeatedly fails to see through people’s transparent attempts to disguise their real motivations and intentions, and yet she is sure that she is the only one clever enough to see through General Tilney and realize that he is a wife-murdering villain. In reality, Catherine is the very last person who is likely to discover a well-hidden secret. (Various chapters)

2. Catherine believes that her trip to Northanger Abbey will plunge her into a real-life romantic fantasy like those she has read about in her books. What she really experiences at the Abbey, however, is a realistic awakening to how deluded those books have caused her to become. (Various chapters)
