Yeah, that was just not very nice of Mrs. Bennet at all. I keep wondering why she's not more concerned with her daughter. It's always been about getting Jane matched with Mr. Bingley. Katie

Mrs. Bennet seems a bit obsessed with getting Jane married to Mr. Bingley.  You gotta love how gracious and kind Mr. Bingley is even after Mrs. Bennet’s rude remarks to his best friend. Emily

Oooh that is very interesting! I bet you're right! Katie

Didn’t you feel just terrible for Lizzy when Mrs. Bennet came over to Netherfield “to see Jane”? Mrs. Bennet was just so rude to Mr. Darcy! Emily

Discussion

Hello there, Emily! Miss Bingley quite frustrates me. She's pretty snobby. :P In chapter 10 it seemed like she kind of liked Mr. Darcy. Hmm... Katie

Hi there, Katie! Yeah, it does kind of seem like Miss Bingley is interested in Mr. Darcy.  Perhaps that part of the reason why she is so snobby…not saying that it’s right for her to be so despicably rude to Lizzy Bennet, but I think her “crush” is the root of the problem.  Emily

Pride and Prejudice-Chapters 9 and 10

Hello Everyone, and Happy Sunday! Hope you are having a good day! 

So, here we are to discuss chapters 9 and 10 of P & P! Jane and Elizabeth are still over at Netherfield...Jane suffering from a cold while Elizabeth is dealing with the "charming" Miss Bingley and Mrs. Hurst. Mrs. Bennet comes with her other 3 daughters to visit her sick Jane.  While over there, she makes herself out to be rather foolish (at least, in my opinion she does....) and causes Elizabeth a great deal of embarressment.  So, what did you think of these chapters? What were your thoughts on the dialouge?

Discussion

Yeah that's probably true. I think the two of them need to attend "Gossipers Annonymous". Haha! Like off Confessions of a Shopaholic..."Shopaholics Annonymous". Tehehe! Well we've gotta get girly. Thanks again for the book club! I'll talk to you soon! Katie

Yep!  Those two certainly need help! Lol!  I had a nice time talking with you too, Katie!  Have a great rest of the day! Emily

Discussion

 Yeah...that's just awful. :( I do appreciate that the men stood up for the Bennet girls a time or two. I wish they had done so more often. Especially Mr. Bingley. If he likes Jane then he shouldn't have stood for anyone talking down about her or her sister. Katie

Oh yes!  Mr. Bingley should have certainly said something to those two! Especially since they're his own sisters!  But, I have a feeling that even his scolding would not have silenced their gossiping! Emily

Discussion

I don't get why Miss Bingley and Mrs. Hurst so dislike Elizabeth. And it seems Miss Bingley is kind of that way with Jane too. It's really quite mean, I think. Katie

Miss Bingley and Mrs. Hurst don't like Jane and Elizabeth because they're snobs.  They believe they are over and above the Bennet sisters, so they're rude to them. That seems to be a pretty common attitude for that time period. Emily

Discussion

Hello Emily! :) Mrs. Bennet makes me laugh. She's so goofy! It's said though, that all her scheming resulted in Jane getting sick. :-P I really liked Elizabeth in chapter six when she set out to make sure her sister was all right. She seemed to be a very faithful sister. Katie

I though it was interesting that Jane's sister walked all the way to the Bingly's house to take care of her sister. Zach

Yes, Elizabeth is a great sister! She walked three miles to get to her sister (after rainy weather, I might add), and then stayed with a group of people who she did not like (and some that didn’t like her) just so she could nurse Jane back to health!

I thought Miss Bingly is absolutely horrid for talking about Elizabeth the way she does…and talking bad about her to Mr. Darcy shows how fickle she is! –Emily
