So, I have a bit of catching up to do, and we'll start tonight's uploads with some more Pride and Predjudice.
Today's literature quote comes from Juliet McMaster's Class on page 117:
Women too sometimes have handles to their names, although they could not inherit a peerage or a baronetcy. Lady Catherine de Bourgh would not want us to miss the fine shades in the title 'Lady'.
And from Pride and Prejudice, in chapter 29 page 6:
"Do not make yourself uneasy, my dear cousin, about your apparel. Lady Catherine is far from requiring that elegance of dress in us which becomes herself and her daughter. I could advise you merely to put on whatever of your clothes is superior to the rest--there is no occasion for anything more. Lady Catherine will not think the worse of you for being simply dressed. She likes to have the distinction of rank preserved."
So from what I can tell, it results in the following. IS Lady Catherine really just some ornery old B-word who doesn't deserve her title but just wants it known?
I mean, Lady Catherine literally does almost nothing in the book, except make life harder for Elizabeth with every ounce of mean she can, or flaunt her title and rank in the family to other people so they know how important she is. I'm not sure if I'm allowed to swear in these or not, but I can certainly tell you that LADY Catherine is the farthest thing from it and who deserves to be kicked in the lady parts! I can understand if your proud of who you are, but a lady shouldn't be flaunting her pride around, she should be quietly enjoying everything she has access too, not putting on a big flamboyant show of it. I dunno if it's just me being prejudice myself, but from what I've seen the stereotypical rich or wealthy individual isn't a complete douchebag unless it's a lame movie. Either way, this post is really just to post anger towards the unerring meanness of the witch named Catherine.
Short post tonight, I plan to upload more in the morning, keep posted viewers. ^^
