Quote
"'My dear Mr. Bennet', replied his wife,'how can you be so tiresome! you must know that I am thinking of his marrying one of them'" (Austen 1).
Response
This quote relates to Mrs. Bennet's obsession with having her daughters married, especially to a man with a higher social staus. Mrs. Bennet tirelessly implores Mr. Bennet to make aquaintances with Mr. Bingly, who is a newcomer and rich. Mr. Bennet's strategy in dealing with his nagging wife is usually sarcasm.
Quote
"I know you do; and it is that which makes the wonder. With your good sense, to be so honestly blind to the follies and nonsense of others!" (10).
Response
This quote relates to the differences between Elizabeth and Jane Bennet. As was explained during class, we see Elizabeth's reasoning and intelligence in comparison to to Jane's happy-go-lucky attitude. Jane always tries to see the good in people which is not always a good thing because not everyone is a good person.
