The Jane Austen Podcast with Alison Larkin
Society & Culture
Elizabeth and Charlotte’s family arrive at the Collins’ home. The next day, Elizabeth and Mariah spot Lady de Bourgh’s daughter, Anne, from a window. They observe how thin, sickly, and plain she looks - the idea that Darcy would have such an unattractive wife pleases Elizabeth.
The group is invited to dinner at Lady de Bourgh’s manor. While at dinner, Lady Catherine dominates the conversation - pushing her own ideas about class and how a home should be run. It’s made clear that she has a strong hand in Mr. Collin’s life and home, thus she’ll also have one in Charlotte’s. Lady Catherine then turns attention to Elizabeth and criticizes the Bennetts for how they brought up their daughters. She is shocked to hear Elizabeth does not practice music or art, but rather reads. Elizabeth shows no fear in responding to Lady Catherine with her own opinions and pride in how she was raised.
