the only way they will get me to tune in to a series about elizabeth eliot is if they follow her closeness with mrs clay to its logical conclusion (toxic yuri)

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

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.)
