This classic novel starts off with a detached father and husband, Mr. Bennet, having a "casual" conversation with his wife. The subject of this dialog between the two happened to be about marring their daughters off to suitable husbands. This seemed to irritate Mr. Bennet more than anything.
As I read through its first part of the novel I kept getting this feeling that Mr. Bennet is not the most prominent father figure, pretty much dumping his children into his wife's ring of responsibility. It's quite sad that Mr. Bennet is so distant with his family and I feel that this fault of his is going to be a serious problem.
