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

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...!!!😕

"You take delight in vexing me. You have no compassion on my poor nerves.'' Bennet replies, ''You mistake me, my dear. I have a high respect for your nerves. They are my old friends. I have heard you mention them with consideration these twenty years at least.''

These lines hadme in splits literally...

I read 3 chapters too..😳

So, when Bingley visits the Bennets.. how come the girls didn't get to meet the most eligible bachelor ? Was that supposed to be a norm that the girls were not supposed to meet the boy during those times ? Edited by dixie123 - 11 years ago

18th century english girls did not come without being called or without being purpose... england was conservative... they did meet boys but they were always accompanied by someone...offcourse lovers at that time too did not follow norms... they met in secret but in parks... or a casual stroll in garden if the boy and girls were friends😊

Though 18 century England was conservative ,but boys and girls were allowed to meet and even dance  in the presence of some chaperone in gatherings . Since Mr. Bennet was a peculiar gentleman ,he might forget to call his daughters for introduction.😉

I felt it was done something on purpose to keep the girls away. How come Mrs.Bennet didn't do anything ? Even with all the conservativeness I thought she would have toot pado on the chance 😆
