"My dear, dear Lydia!" [Mrs. Bennet] cried: "This is delightful indeed!-She will be married!-I shall see her again!-She will be married at sixteen!-My good kind brother!-I knew how it would be-I knew he would manage everything. How I long to see her! and to see dear Wickham too!" (Austen 256)
Oh Mrs. Bennet, how I hate you so! Two chapters ago, Mrs. Bennet had been condemning Lydia for running off with Mr. Wickham and now, she is ecstatic for her marriage to the man. Her disposition on the subject rapidly changes from one chapter to the next... It makes me wonder just how ignorant she can really be. How can you go from blaming everyone but herself for Lydia's impertinence in running off with Wickham to approbating her decision to marry him? Because Mrs. Bennet only seems to care if her daughters marry; doesn't matter to who or how, but as long as they marry, she ok with whatever they do. What a role model! (Sarcasm)
