had mrs bennet actually cared about the future of her daughters on the marriage market she would have:
a) had them properly educated
b) curbed her own spending which austen states is the cause of a lot of the bennets money worries
c) not let lydia go to fucking brighton
When one reads 'Pride and Prejudice' as a teen or a 20-something, it’s easy to get swept up in the romance. If you reread it in your mid-30s, though, you may come to the same realization Alderton did: “Mrs. Bennet’s kind of the hero of the whole f--king thing.” vanityfair.visitlink.me/6VVR…
its being reduced from being "among the first families in the neighbourhood" to reliance on the kindness on her (wealthy! involved! smart and caring!) brother mr gardiner
i feel i would hate the 1995 pride and prejudice a lot less if everyone stopped telling me how much i had to like it

mr. and mrs. bennet discourse back on my feed… I must put in my two cents and say that austen very clearly thinks BOTH of them fail their family in significant ways. their first failure is in the act of marriage itself, because neither of them respects the other… (cont.)

i love when your cat is sleeping in bed with you and then you get up in the middle of the night to go do something and you turn around to see that your cat has followed you and is staring at you with a tired grumpy face as if you forced them to get up and follow you
