The 95 version Mrs Bennett makes me want to slap her so bad! They made her boderline trashy, even more so than the book The 2005 version actually makes Mr and Mrs Bennett marriage seem okay, and Mrs Bennett as still embarrassing but bearable!
Mrs Bennet is appallingly rude to Mr Darcy during their visit at Netherfield. True, he takes no effort to ingratiate himself to her. But her comments about "gentlemanly behavior" directed pointedly at Mr Bingley and about "dining with four and twenty families" are no less rude. In Georgian society, she is the wife of a gentleman but not born into gentry herself. She and her three younger daughters behave badly at the ball. Mrs Bennet openly boasts of "Bingley's"' attachment. Just like Mrs Elton in Emma, talking about "Knightley". No Mister before his name. No smart man of fortune and birth would have wanted to marry a Bennet daughter. Inferior connections, when connections mattered. Little to no dowry. Rudeness and want of public civility from both parents. Lydia and Kitty being common flirts. What was not acceptable was the way Mr Darcy proposed talking aboit the deficiencies of the Bennet family, even if they were true. I don't blame him or the Bingley sisters for persuading Mr Bingley away from Netherfield. Mr Bingley with his five thousand pounds and amiable nature could look elsewhere Pride and Prejudice, the novel, is a charming fairy tale. A triumph of love and character over calculation and connections. Two wealthy men choosing two sisters who bring only two hundred pounds each to the altar. And the estimable Mr Wickham as a brother-in-law. It is not surprising that according to Austen's family, Mr Bingley chose not to buy Netherfield but move closer to Pemberley. I doubt Mr Darcy encouraged Mr and Mrs Bennet or Mary and Kitty to visit overlong. Four to six weeks maximum. Mr Darcy would have seen the reputation and status of his family, notably his children, sink a little everytime indiscreet and vulgar Mrs Bennet came to stay. He was the grandson, the nephew and eventually the cousin of earls. His children's connections to these and others were one generation removed. This was a period in history where one's connections by birth or marriage or kinship mattered.
Mr Bennett was not a good husband nor a good father to the last 3 of her daughters. He only paid attention to the first two. It is his own fault his family turned out like that.
@@GreasyBaconMan She is not smart, she only cares for money and gossip. And lace. An airheaded, hysterical person. Not funny. She makes a foul of herself...
For those wondering at the embarrassment when Mary sings; Slumber Dear Maid, even when appropriately sung, is actually a funeral song.
I didn’t know she sang a funeral song! Yes, that makes it even worse.😳
oh my...... hahaha 🤣🤣🤣
😂😂
Oh no! Lol what was she thinking
Thank you!
Darcy: Your family is cringe.
Lizzie: Your family is Lady Catherine de Bourgh.
Oh God. Mrs Bennett and Lady Catherine, I don't know which I'd enjoy thr company of least
Darcy: You're family is so embarrassing.
Also Darcy: I hope your family is in good health.
5:45 🤣🤣🤣. Mr Bingleys expression.
In the book, Mr Bennet and his daughters are gentry and the Bingleys are newcomers to high society, as is Mrs Bennet because she had married up.
The Bingleys are newcomers? I didn’t remember that, which part says it?

@@feynevan Few understand these days the old snobbery of the landed for families that acquired their fortune by trade.
@@joefirma2242Yes I do wonder if this was Austen throwing shade on them.
"Acquired by TRADE 😏 "
Oh my goodness, Lizzies family is completely cringe.
Except for her father and Jane
I can actually empathize with Elizabeth having a buffoon for a mother myself.
I swear when I was 5 years old my mother embarassed me & she did until the day she died.
Goodness, can I attest to that. May your mother rest in peace though
Hard same

@@smollilbean 2005 Mrs. Bennet isn't accurate at all which is why she's at least partially bearable
Mrs. Bennet could not have been so bad to have raised Lizzie and Jane to be such fine women. And, she is frank and outspoken, not unlike Lizzie....
Most likely, the father raised the first two daughters, and left the rest to be raised by the mother.
I think the older sisters spent alot of time with the aunt and uncle
Lizzie is also Frank and outspoken. The difference is that she's classy when she speaks.

Gor Blimey I'd have been RIGHT OUT then.
Dayum
Mrs. B implacable..
Darcy disagreeable.. Yet aloof.. Gem of a person... Persistence pays...
Austen's masterpiece
É um povo metido a besta. Uma saudação ao mundo atual.
Mr.Darcy’s family is not so great, either. His aunt….
lol yes she's exactly like Mrs Bennett.
Except she gets away with it because she’s rich & noble.
i understand and sympathize greatly with mr. darcy. mr. collins, that creepy little worm, is obviously a very distant relation of barnabas...
I actually liked Mr. Collins in this series. In the 2005 version, he was a twat in every definition of the word.
Poor Mr Bennet
I feel sorry for Mary.
She is meant to be a dislikable character for... reasons, but I can only pity her.
It’s his own fault, he should have been more involved in his daughters’ upbringing, and stopped his wife from letting them run wild.
Mr Bennett was not a good husband nor a good father to the last 3 of her daughters. He only paid attention to the first two. It is his own fault his family turned out like that.
Mrs. Bennette put Mr. Darcy in his place!
Not in any way he felt.
She takes delight at... embarrassing Lizzie ... .
@@antonellakennedy9564 Many times...
Mrs Bennet is a smart and at times funny, she knows snobbery when she’s encountered it. She speaks her mind and is not afraid who hears it.
@@GreasyBaconMan She is not smart, she only cares for money and gossip. And lace.

It's Lord Ashfordley. I forgot it was the same bloke.
