Pod and Prejudice Pride and Prejudice Vol. II Chapters 14-16
Chapter 14: The boys leave, and everyone's bored. Lady Catherine extends an invitation to Lizzy and Maria, and Lizzy reflects on Proposageddon. Highlights include: Lizzy eating ice cream and listening to Adele, Kitty's real name, how to properly pack a suitcase, and heavy-metal-Baby-de-Bourgh.
Chapter 15: Collins and Lizzy have awkward breakfast talk time, and Charlotte enters to save her. Lizzy and Maria depart to go meet Jane. Lizzy ruminates on how much she'll have to conceal from Jane. Highlights include: CHICKENS.
Chapter 16: Lydia's chapter. Lizzy, Jane, and Maria arrive at an inn where they meet Kydia. Kydia "treats" them to lunch, but they've spent all their money on. a bonnet for Lydia. The militia is leaving in two weeks, and Kydia and Mrs. Bennet want to follow them to Brighton. We find out that Miss King ditched Wickham. Lydia tears everyone apart in the car. Highlights include: Mary's love of lesbian poetry, vegan charcuterie, CHICKENS, "Wickham is a construct," 22 by Taylor Swift but about Jane, Jane Austen Drag Brunch, MARY, and Lydia with a K.
Study Questions: Topics discussed include marriage for love vs. marriage for money and how Charlotte and Collins play into that, Catherine and Anne de Bourgh, Tilda Swinton as a halfway point between Gwenyth Paltrow and Judi Dench, Lizzy as an unreliable narrator, Kitty as a kitty, Darcy's evaluation of the Bennet family, flirting in the Austen times, Fiddler on the Roof (as always), and how long the sisters have to get married.
Funniest quote: "Far be it from me, my dear sister, to depreciate such pleasures. They would doubtless be congenial with the generality of female minds. But I confess they would have no charms for me. I should infinitely prefer a book."
Questions moving forward: Will the squad come back to Netherfield? Will we see Wickham again? Will we got to Brighton? Will Lizzy go hiking with a mountain man?
Who wins the chapters? Lydia!
