Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice is set in the town of Hertfordshire, England, during the Victorian period. The central focus of the social elite was simply to marry into a wealthy family and increase their social status. Austen depicts one mother’s over zealous quest to marry away her five daughters and her husband’s complete lack of interest in the whole ordeal. Mrs. Bennett’s relationship with her daughters is more then that of a close friend than it is of a mother and authority figure. She is constantly trading rumors and gossip with them. Mrs. Bennett does nothing to teach her daughter’s manners and they hardly act prim and proper as the standards of the time require. Her behavior at the balls is nearly as bad as her daughter’s. Mrs. Bennett loudly discusses the incomes of some of the gentlemen present with others in earshot.
