[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Remember the letter he writes Mr Bennet about Lydia after she runs away with Wickham? Part of the point of his character is showing that the clergy aren't necessarily that great. Just like Lady Catherine is terrible, showing that the aristocracy is not that great. English society then was very stratified-Austen is pointing out that it's BS since it gives respect to people because of their class when as individuals, some of them are idiots or jerks.[/quote] Er, sort of. Its actually criticism of the church and the aristocracy. Both are in a sense mocked and shown to be shallow. Its not saying they are "not that great" its a little more sophisticated than that.[/quote]
