beauty and money

Mary returned home crying again, and her mother's incitement at the ball had made her lose all face.And Mrs. Bennet got angry because of this and determined not to do anything for this stubborn daughter.She is really a pathetic mother who can't get her daughter's forgiveness for doing so many things. Although she thinks that it is rare to see people as beautiful as her other daughters, Mary is not ugly and vulgar, but she is set off by a few sisters. overshadowed.

It is obvious that Mrs. Bennet overestimated the beauty and charm of her daughter. Perhaps in the eyes of all mothers in the world, there is no daughter who is not beautiful. They believe that their daughter is the best, which is simply speechless .But Mary's actual situation is far less optimistic than Mrs. Bennet thought.

Mary is a woman without flair. Although Jane and Elizabeth are flirtatious, they will never be flirtatious. Their characters are either gentle and amiable or witty, which makes people feel good, but Mary is not worth mentioning in terms of appearance. , you can’t tell her apart from any ordinary British girl, and even the inferiority complex and rigidity she carries make you think she’s a nasty woman at first sight.In fact, Mary's unsatisfactory appearance is a small blemish, which can be erased by the sisters' marriage enhancement.To be the brother-in-law of Darcy and Mr. Bingley is undoubtedly a good capital.But there was a huge hole in Mary's character that would have put any gentleman at arm's length.

Maybe men don't like women who are too stupid, but the smart women they like are by no means the ones who crush them intellectually.Elizabeth is smart and smart, and her agile temperament is lovable.But if Mary talks to you, it is very likely that you will fall into her eloquent explanation and show-off-like arrogance. She cannot detect the sleepy eyes of others, and her ignorance makes men fear such a female doctor-like woman. It feels like you're not talking to a lady you're trying to woo, you're talking to your own professor, so the boring conversation doesn't end, and then people have to learn not to talk to Mary, and Mary wants to fit herself into the group Keep chiming in to make yourself less embarrassed, so people get sick of her even more like, oh, women who don't talk are a thousand times cuter than women who talk, and that's about her.

Bennet's social circle couldn't find a suitable partner, and Mrs. Bennet took Mary to visit her brothers-in-law, and continued this sad life of prom clowns in London. Even a stupid person should be aware of his own The daughter became a complete joke, but Mrs. Bennet didn't care, and if she cared, she wouldn't care about Lydia's behavior.It was perfectly right to marry, her daughter must marry, she would never be a governess, spinster, or nun.

At this social ball, Mrs. Bennet once again used her proud wife's diplomacy. She strongly recommended her three daughters, saying that she has outstanding achievements in the piano and has considerable insight in moral classics.She even hinted to Mary that she should show off a little and take the initiative to chat with the gentlemen, and used cotton pads to create the illusion of rough waves on Mary's calm chest.

Evidently the humiliation was greater than usual, for Mrs. Bennet had heard of a widowed clergyman looking for a wife, and to see how well suited Mary was, she was plain and trouble-free, naturally submissive and pious, and loved Sermon collection and very knowledgeable and extremely kind, she would be a good mother, think of the few little ones who have lost their mother's shelter, they desperately need the protection of a stepmother, no one is more suitable than Mary.

So in Mrs. Bennet's unrestrained chatter, Mary finally broke down. She ran out of the dance scene crying, called a carriage to take herself home, and didn't even intend to take the Bennet's carriage. What a dangerous signal.After returning home, Mary took off her dress with a pale face and lay on the bed crying. All the sisters were married, and she was the only one who faced all this unfortunately.

Mrs. Bennet has no understanding. Forgive her. If this lady is a little understanding, she will not do such a shameful thing. Mary's behavior makes her very angry. She thinks her lack of cooperation It ruined a good marriage.Although Mary's sisters, except Lydia, are struggling financially, all the other sisters are well-married, and in recent years, the sons-in-law have not hesitated to make the Bennet family develop financially.

Moreover, after the sisters got married, the ribbons and clothing needed in the family were greatly reduced, which undoubtedly brought more benefits to Mary, who was married last. There is no doubt about it.And Mr. Bennet apparently also thinks that his three daughters need more "benefits" than other daughters to be able to marry, or to enter a good monastery and become a fasting master.Forgive his hard-heartedness, if Mary had been his daughter he would not have seen anything in her that any gentleman should like.Her ignorance of current affairs and her pedantry are not to be feared. 'Women have no looks like men have no money', these are Mr. Bennet's own words, 'Oh, God, it's unfortunate enough that you didn't give this woman looks, and you gave her such a terrible character, these You should put it on a man. Therefore, Mr. Bennet had absolutely no hope for the marriage of his three daughters. With the marriage of his favorite daughter, he put all his body and mind into the study and developed some new hobbies.

By the time Mrs. Bennet drove back to their temporary residence in London, the Riverside Garden Hotel, Mary had been crying for a full hour. However, with the help of Kitty's husband, Lord Menardius, Mrs. Bennet still rented the place at a relatively affordable price. As for the small London apartment of the Darcy couple, Darcy and several of his friends are currently living there. They were all young gentlemen in need of Mr. Darcy's introduction into society.

Although Mrs. Bennet wanted to live there, she had to save some face in front of her son-in-law's friends, especially when she couldn't help wondering whether those young people who needed introductions would be interested in Mary, but Mr. Darcy How clever, he immediately noticed the unrealistic idea of ​​the mother-in-law, and told those gentlemen that they were all younger than Mary, so Mrs. Bennet had to give up.

When Mrs. Bennet returned to the room and heard Mary crying in the bedroom, she broke out uncontrollably. "God, what did I do? You messed up a good marriage, oh my nerves, they're going to explode with your anger now, you're hopeless and unglamorous, I Don't you understand what you said, don't you want to be an old maid, I don't agree. We'll go back to Meryton tomorrow, tomorrow."

When Mary was crying aggrievedly in the bedroom, she heard her mother's almost roaring voice, and she responded loudly: "I beg you to have mercy, don't say any more. If you can see, they are all laughing at us, but you don't, you It's so heartless, I'd rather never marry, I'd rather go to a convent."

"Okay, you unfilial daughter, if you want to be an old maid, I will never support you, and I will never give you a penny!"
