Document Summary
In the book pride and prejudice by jane austen, there was a scene where elizabeth and. Lydia are talking about lydia"s marriage when lydia asks, are not you curious to hear how it was managed?". I think there cannot be too little said on the subject. ". But i must tell you how it went off. " (270) This scene is a representation of how it is to be in a family where the members don"t care if you want to listen or not, they just go ahead and talk. Unfortunately, they"re your family and thus you have no power to tell them to go somewhere else. Basically, no matter how annoying they are or how angry you get, you are prevented from saying anything or harming them because they are your family and it is against your morals. In this scene of the book, elizabeth is feeling bad because she didn"t tell lydia that.
