Waise the quote is hilarious 😆
fits perfectly on mothers( in my case its my sis who wants me to get married😡 although i am 23)

Mr. Bennet - A typical husband whose wife is not an intellectual equal with him...yet takes a certain amount of pleasure on her idiosyncrasies...

Any body here...I like Mr Bennet too... he has a great sense of humour... And Mrs Bennet, the typical loudmouth desperate mom 😆.. She cares too much for the money and riches... kind of showoff.. My god.. she is desperate to get her daughters married( Mota murga phasao types😆)... typical mother

If i observe Mr.Bennet character based on first few chapters only ,I will say he finds great pleasure in teasing her wife and appreciates her daughter Elizabeth only from the set of his five daughters
Mrs.Bennet looks to me a silly but determined woman..

Not able to keep a check on her...a meek soul...may be b'coz of his love towards her...🤔

Mrs Bennet ( as they say in Hindi naa - " Nautanki...!!!" ) - Haaww...the picturization of her in the BBC version - SOOO fits the bill..and of course of Mr. Bennet too...😆

A marriage out of Love or by a mere chance...!!!😕

@Blue He was not able to check her because he was too absorbed in his own world that he did not want to spare his time or efforts for that.

@Red For me in BBC version Mrs.Bennet appeared more shrewd, mean and yet silly ,quite determined to have her own way.

@Green Their marriage was out of love but that love quickly waned away as soon as both saw the real face of each other.

Out of his five daughters, he loves his lizzy the most

AnShu...

Yup the introductory chapters do show his preference to Lizzy ., but he regards Jane too for her sensibility..though may not be as much as Lizzy...

Lizzy is his favorite of all...😳😆

Uma,
Though we later will see that he likes both Jane and Lizzy ,but if we read only first chapter it indicates otherwise. There he said to his wife'They have none of them much to recommend them,they are all silly and ignorant like other girls ,but Lizzy has something more of quicknessthan her sisters'.

Who is this Mrs. Long...?

A neighbor to Bennets or Just an Acquaintance..?

I think Acquaintance who has two nieces... She gossips with Mrs Bennet about young men in town
