Why does everyone want or need to get married in Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice? In this episode I unpack more about the situation of Mrs Bennet, young unmarried girls like Jane, Elizabeth and Charlotte Lucas, and then why men like Mr Collins would also be under pressure to find a wife. I explore why Bingley's sisters want him to marry Georgiana, and why Lady Catherine wants Darcy to marry her daughter Anne. What is Austen's viewpoint about this social pressure to marry?
