An element of ego as well? Written by kathleen (elder) (1/18/2004 7:25 p.m.) in consequence of the missive, Yes and no, penned by Christiana

I agree that Mrs Bennet has her daughter's interest as well as her own future in mind when wishing them to be well married. But I also think that having her daughters married early and to (relatively) wealthy men would be a coup for her in the whole marriage game -- she could be the local champion mother!
