Re: Pet Peeves

[(Anonymous)]

I doubt that "no one of that social class would be trained for the kitchen": Charlotte Lucas probably is. Mrs Bennet actually makes a point of letting Mr. Bingley know that her daughters are not, which suggests that it wouldn't be surprising if they were, and she's anxious to make sure he knows they've been brought up differently than the Lucases.

I don't necessarily agree. In the book, Mrs. Bennet is infamous for being somewhat snobbish about these matters and even if her standards are not always technically correct, she believes she's being correct. It's important to note that we don't even know that Charlotte Lucas cooks. We only have Mrs. Bennet's say-so, during a scene where she's deliberately throwing shade at the Lucas family and Charlotte in particular (as she often does in the book) and Mrs. Bennet is hardly a reliable narrator.

It's more likely that no, daughters of both her and the Lucas' social class do not cook, and she is just drawing what may an entirely false distinction between the Lucas girls and her own daughters because she's trying to impress Mr. Bingley and is being obnoxious about it.

On the other hand, if it goes without saying that no one of the Bennets' social class would have anything to do with food preparation, I doubt Mrs. Bennet would have felt the need to mention that her daughters didn't have anything to do with food preparation. I don't really see where she's trying to throw shade at the Lucas family--she's only just said that Sir William represents her idea of graciousness and good breeding--and she doesn't have to bring up Charlotte's cooking to throw shade at poor Charlotte; she has only to bring up Charlotte's plain looks.
