[quote=Anonymous]When he comes to "condole" with the Bennetts over Lydia's elopement, he says that her death would have been preferable to eloping / bringing shame upon the family. The phrase was something like "her death would have been a blessing". He also says who will want to align themselves with such a family. His views are odious even if they weren't so strange for that time. I think he gets a bad rap because he has no social graces and is such a suck up. I think Lizzy is way too hard on Charlotte though, because the man was the only plan available to women who weren't independently wealthy. Charlotte was getting close to being past the age when women typically married. My daughter's favorite line is "are the shades of pemberley to be thus polluted," uttered by Lady Catherine from the A&E version. I loved that Lady Catherine - she was so dramatic and bitchy.
