Lydia Bennett is perhaps the most headstrong and free spirited of the group. However those admirable qualities are turned on their head in the manner in which she behaves. She is dim-witted and frivolous in her pursuits. Which is shoddy justification for such stubborn stupidity.

Her pursuits are for army boys and monkeys similar to that above. Easily impressed by this kind, not least that he's in the military. Which connotes the ideas that such a woman girl is is enticed by the ideas of an older man, one with authority. Also brings in the underlying qualities that associates with this sort of seniority, the man brings some kind of shallow social prestige. Has probably been with women before, compared the somewhat social inadequacies of Bingley and Darcey. However these women are probably more of the same trash. Who wants that?

But it takes less than an idiot to realise that the latter two individuals are the ones with class, substance, and though wealth may seem like a big factor in which the eldest two of the Bennet sisters have taken to, that is sorely not the case. What makes both couples admirable, is that each partner has self worth that they simply end up good enough for each other. Honest intentions subjugate the actions made, and each likes the other for all the right reasons. The Bennets are by no means a poor family, but neither rich beyond imagination as well. However amongst certain members of that family, there is a quiet dignity that they possess.

 

This sort of implication, which takes its roots from far below the surface, is in direct juxtaposition to the loud, attention seeking and contrived piece of work that is Lydia Bennet. Pleased by such trivial stimulation of the ego, she lacks all the sort of dignity others in her family are so admired for. It is a spiral to the bottom she follows, and is only too happy too acquiesce to such a life.

It is perhaps even more tragic that she should be juxtaposed in this manner. She had a future, had individuals of class amongst her which could have been suitable role models. How unfortunate that she become estranged and the shame of her family at such a young age.

It is beyond my duty to prevent such an occurrence. For there is limited power within my hands, and i am very much someone of pride and prejudice. but that which is significantly warranted. the good kind. It is something which she should learn, lest i guarantee that such a severance shall occur. not even by my own doing but through the self constructed contrivance that her life follows.

[Otherwise the eldest two Bennet sisters remind me of certain individuals which i have great admiration for. Pine.]
