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
Yeah...that's just awful. :(
ReplyDeleteI 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.
