- Here Mr. Bennet is talking to Mrs. Bennet about the Lydia and Mr. Wickham. And while talking about the two, Mr. Bennet openly shows his contempt for the two by not letting them in his house. But he does not clarify why he does not want them in house. The only word he uses that may explain his reasoning is when he says that he will "not encourage the imprudence of the either" (288). Thus the reader can assume that the Mr. Bennet maybe upset that his daughter was dumb enough to hastily choose to run away and marry a mercenary that only wants money to repay his debts. Ergo, Mr. Bennet is upset that he was used by Mr. Wickham through his daughter as a means to pay off his debt. And what made it worse was that fact that Mr. Bennet does not really have the money to pay Mr. Wickham, and instead Mr. Bennet had to rely Mr. Gardiner to pay him back. This makes Mr. Bennet think about how poor of a father he has been due to the fact that he has not saved enough money for his family.
