How would a mother like Mrs. Bennet be in real life? This question came to my mind when I started reading the part where Mrs. Bennet visits Mr. Bingley to check on her sick daughter. In real life, settled marriages are pretty rare so if a mother like her existed in real life she would be imposing something else on her children. The most common thing would be the academics.
Question: What are you expectations of Jane?
Mrs. Bennet: Well, all I want is for her to marry Mr. Bingley. I mean, he’s the perfect husband. He is an agreeable man, he has money and I think he is interested in Jane. He
(Jane is a smart girl. She has to get ready for college now. She should go to MIT and major in engineering and become an engineer. I’m sure she can make it because she’s got good grades and has several awards from contests. She has to follow these steps.)
Question: What does Jane think about this?
Mrs. Bennet: She seems to like Mr. Bingley. So, I don’t think she’d be opposing my idea. There is nothing to lose. She would be more than glad to do as I wish.
(Well, she never told me that she wanted to study something else or that she didn’t want to study engineering in MIT so I believe she is okay with it. She’s got no choice anyways because I prepared her for MIT and didn’t even think of other schools, so even if she doesn’t want it she has to go there.)
