(Love would be grand too but love doesn’t put food on the table or pay the dressmaker’s bills.) Being spinsters isn’t really an option for Jane, Elizabeth, Mary, Kitty and Lydia as the Bennet estate is entailed and can only pass through the male line – in this case distant cousin, the odious and mansplaining clergyman, Mr Collins – ensuring that on Mr Bennet’s death, any of his daughters still unmarried face an uncertain future and even penury. ![]() It’s true that when we first meet Mrs Bennet she is beside herself that the local ‘big house’ Netherfield Park “is to be let at last” to a young man of large fortune from the North of England (you may also know him as Mr Bingley.) The reason for Mrs Bennet’s delight is that her raison d’etre is to get her five daughters married off, sooner rather than later and definitely richer than poorer.īut it’s just as well that Mrs Bennet is looking out for her daughters, because it’s 1813 and marriage is their only option for social betterment, and financial enrichment. ![]()
