Mr and Mrs Bennet Flashcards
Mr Bennet Finance
He spent his money in an idle and frivolous manner
Wished he had laid by an annual sum for his children
I have been to blame
Forgives Lydia and tries to rectify it
Mrs Bennet
seemed incapable of fatigue
talks at length about inappropriate topics, we dine with four and twenty
Makes herself superior to the Lucases
No turn for the economy
a woman of mean understanding
You have no compassion for my poor nerves
You take delight in vexing me
The business of her life was to her daughters married
More alive to the disgrace with the want of new clothes ( for lydia) than to any sense of her shame
I can not see that London has any great advantage over the country
hopeless of remedy
uncertain temper
Keeps her pride- static- Happy for all her maternal feelings was the day on which [she] got rid of her two most deserving daughters.
Marriage
So unsuitable a marriage
Captivated by youth and beauty and that appearance of good humour which youth and beauty.. give
Put an end to all real affection for her
Mr Bennet Character
So odd a mixture of quick parts, sarcastic humour, reserve and caprice.
teases his wife
Vallous
