Okay No Offense To Carson And Mrs Hughes Who Are Precious But Can Someone Please Explain Why We Get More

okay no offense to Carson and Mrs Hughes who are precious but can someone please explain why we get more of their wedding than Mary and Matthew's?? like sorry but I very much would have liked to hear my perfect ship exchange vows! I also spend a lot of time wishing we'd heard Mary tell Matthew she loves him but WHATEVER JULIAN

We are good people and we've suffered enough.

I don't think JA presented Lydia as a hated character. I think Lydia was a victim of circumstance and a cautionary tale at the same time.

It wasn't her fault that her life took the turn it did, exactly because she was very young. It was her family's fault, her father's fault, that he didn't teach her how to look after herself in a world that was out to get her, or look after her like a parent of a teenager should have. And Mr Bennett, in a rare moment of self-reflection, takes ownership of just how much of a useless father he'd been. Not that he adjusts his behaviour after the fact, and JA makes a point of that, because recognising our faults is not enough if we don't work on them.

Lydia was living proof of how delicate the position of women was, not just as individuals but collectively as a group, given that the mistake of one could destroy many of them.
