I liked this a lot and was wrong about her.

Her = Elizabeth Bennett? or Jane Austen?

Latter, maybe the former inclusively.

I guess I was in no humour to give consequence to young ladies who are slighted by other men.

Talk with [livejournal.com profile] all_unnecessary is inclining me to try Persuasion. But P&P, oh god. So I'd like to hear you talk about it, although I know you've got a bucket of other things going on.

The put-down type stuff was a booster rocket to get you into the ethical dilemma - B and D have to figure out that the point and use of their being better than other people isn't about them, but about the good. Rather than a sort of reward permitting more rarified selfishness, like Mr. Bennet's. The less together people consistently get revealed as products of faulty upbringings, thus unlucky. The humiliations of D and B make them see you can't be a breed apart, even as they confirm them in the need for breeding, for creating and attaining standards. You need the scruples those two always had plus the charity of Jane B. It's a neat, totally on point take on what to do and how to be. The audience's inner Daria gets chastened with scorpions if they're paying attention.
