Paragraph 1

Marriage to Mrs. Bennet is not something that can be easily defined.  She understands what it means, a binding between a man and a woman, but she does not understand what it stands for.  Mrs. Bennet doesn't appreciate the true aspect of marriage because to her, it is just an object of money.  She materializes a sentimental moment in life, and removes any type of love or emotion linked with it.  For Mrs. Bennet, marriage is a look towards the future and stability, the ability to say that she has made it in this life by vicariously living through her daughters and becoming wealthy.  This selfish thought propels into the clouds leading her to believe that she actually means something when she truly isn't anything in this world except another member of the middle class.  Furthermore, because of her oblivious attitude this incorporates itself into her ideas of marriage causing her to be careless and lack respect for not only emotion but her daughter Elizabeth as well, who is a complete 180 from her mother.  Mrs. Bennet takes marriage on like a bull rather a "journey" meaning that she aggressively approaches only with the idea of winning and ultimately sucks out the feeling of love, her biggest example being her daughter Jane, and as a result disgracing and not fully understanding marriage.

*Forgot: Stupidity of Mrs. Bennet causes her to be left in the dark as she can not experience life, except through a one-minded thought channel.
