Is Mr. and Mrs. Bennet's marriage happy or unhappy in The Pride and the Prejudice?

Answer 1

I feel that they are both basically good people who have their flaws and are not at all suited to each other. They married when they were very young, without giving much thought to the consequences, and are now paying the price. Mr Bennett tends to mock his wife and younger daughters, and pays them little attention. Mrs Bennett occupies herself primarily with marrying off her daughters, and often embarrasses Lizzy and Jane in public with her shameless attempts to throw them and their sisters together with rich young men. She is also inclined to fancy herself of a nervous disposition, which is very little help to her family in times of trouble, and is too indulgent towards Kitty and Lydia.

Answer 2

Mr. and Mrs. Bennet's marriage is portrayed as rather unhappy in "Pride and Prejudice." While they may have a shared sense of humor, they have little in common otherwise, leading to frequent misunderstandings and frustrations between them. Mrs. Bennet's nerves and Mr. Bennet's cynicism contribute to a lack of respect and true companionship in their relationship.

Answer 3

Mr. Bennett, Yes Headmaster at Stevens Academy! taught English and managed the school ( wearing two hats, so to speak) usually found in central office or Room 28. I did not know there was a Bennett character in Pride and Prejudice, maybe that"s why he never used it in English literature classes- too close to home.

Answer 4

The marriage between Mr. Bennet and Mrs. Bennet was not dreadfully unhappy, but it was hardly a happy marriage. Mrs. Bennet was a silly woman, and Mr. Bennet was a bright man who had not been smart enough to be careful to marry a bright woman. When he realized his mistake, he became rather cynical and made fun of his wife by teasing her in ways she could not understand.

Answer 5

At first she loved him because he was rich, but then she disliked his proudness and was very rude to him.

Answer 6

Pride and Prejudice in some sense is equivalent to a modern day romantic comedy movie. The story is written really well.
