I’ve just started reading Pride & Prejudice. Once again,
this seems to be another upper class love novel where there are rich parties
every weekend and the first thing that they learn off another person is their
income each year. We again touch on the impracticality of waiting for an
introduction so that a call can be made; and then the process must be repeated
by the other party so as not to be rude. I know that someone will be married; probably
Mr. Bingley, and that Elizabeth will soon find herself attracted to Mr. Darcy
and perhaps even learn his first name. Possibly, as even Mrs. Bennett refers to
her husband as Mr. Bennett. At the end of the day there’s no heroic tale here,
just ladies gossiping over one another at a tea party over who is proudest and
who should be prejudiced. Ms Lucas will just fall over somewhere and end up as
a spinster; and someone may drop a teacup or spill a wine glass. What ho.
