“Jane Bennet she is really a very sweet girl and I wish… she was well settled. But with such a father and mother with low connections, I am afraid there is no chance of it” (Jane 26).
In a society, it was all about maintaining a strong social status it would have been understandable that marrying below your rank is a misfortune; but is it. It did not matter how agreeable Jane was, Bingley’s sisters still could not see passed her social status. Even though they know how much their brother admires and appreciates her company. Yes, she was had beauty and her character seemed to complement Mr. Bingley’s. Her parents really had nothing to offer the Bingley family. Even, after her sister made this remark Mr. Bingley tried to make case for her family rather than just accept her for what she was. Money and social class was deeply engraved in these people’s mind that it seemed like Mr. Bingley who enjoyed Jane’s company saw a defect in her character. Nonetheless, the power of love can hopefully help him surpass this because he seems to deeply care about her. He also very tormented by the fact that she is very ill.
“If your daughter should have a dangerous fit of illness if she should die it would be a comfort to know that it was all in the pursuit of Mr. Bingley” (23).
For a woman a low status it was reasonable for Mrs. Bennet to want her daughter to be married and have a good life. Nonetheless, she at takes things she goes overboard with her little schemes on securing the right husband for her daughter Jane. She advise her daughter to go to the Bingley’s estate on horseback so she can get stranded there just she could get acquainted with the family but she did not thing of the consequence it will have. First, Jane got sick and could not return home and the longer they had to care of her the more tired they became of her company. They Bingley sisters did not want much to do with the family anyways. Miss Bingley want to get rid of her because she really wanted to get rid of Elizabeth who catching Mr. Darcy’s eyes, which now brings more ill feeling towards the Bennet family. Mrs. Bennet does have good intentions but she is just willing to sacrifice too much to realize her dream of marrying all her daughters to good and respectable men.
