Teacher Close reading analysis of page 131 of Pride and Prejudice This passage from the book Pride and Prejudice was a narrative ofa mother’s delight for her daughter to marry such as a desirable young man. The marriage is beneficial not only for her daughter but also for her sisters. As Mrs. Bennet would succinctly describe the groom, “such a charming man, and so rich, and living but three miles from them” (Austen 131). This is not only advantageous to her daughter but also to her sisters because this would also increase their chance to marry other rich men as the marriage “must throw them in the way of other rich men” (Austen 131).

Also the marriage would relieve her the duty of taking care the other daughters because they would now be taken cared of their marrying sister being “consign her single daughters to the care of their sister” (Austen 131) as more than financially capable to do it. Mrs. Bennet could now rest comfortably at her house being relieved of her motherly duty “and find comfort in staying at home” (Austen 131) with the satisfaction that her daughters will now be in good hands whose social stature will be tremendously improved by such marriage.

She is more than satisfied with what will happen to her daughter after the marriage as they will not only be taken cared of whose social status will improved but will also be a source of her pride that there will be no chance that Lady Lucas would be able to match their stature after the marriage.Word count: 253Work CitedAusten, Jane. “Pride and Prejudice” T.
