Mr. Bingely and Darcy are out to find their woman. Like in modern days, you might say that both of them are looking to find a wife, but are they doing this for them or because the society is pressuring them to do so?
You see, in society there has always been a push to things, sort of an idea that you must do something not because you want to but because the society is pushing you to do so. For example we can see how Jane Bennet’s mother wants her to get wet so Mr. Bingely will ask her over. But these actions by Mrs. Bennet are actually showing that she feels pressure from society to get her daughters married.
This usually happens to all of us, who because of this social obligations, are forced to do things we really don’t want to. For instance think about when you walk in a room. There are many people in it, and all of them expect a lot about you. After all, they expect that you follow the rules laid out by them, the rules we have grown into. And just as Mrs. Bennet, we feel pressure to complete the standards set by our society.
