P&P&Z Chapters 4&5 Reactions and Musings

Chapter 4-5

These chapters are tiny, so I’m gonna read them at the same time and combine my notes.

Chapter 4

Jane and Elizabeth discussing Mr. Bingley is silly. I’m reminded of the same scene from the movie where Keira Knightly (Elizabeth) and Rosamund Like (Jane) are under blankets and gossiping and giggling about the same things.

I’m guessing “good breeding” means he’s hot lol

Lizzy essentially giving Jane permission to have a crush on Mr. Bingley has me rolling especially when she comments on her displeasure of him and Mr. Darcy not being around to smash the zombies that attacked the dance.
“He certainly is very agreeable, and I give you leave to like him, despite his lack of gallantry. You have killed many a stupider person.”
Classic!

I’m loving how Lizzy is taking after her father here when she’s more concerned about how the men can hold their own against a Zombie horde.

Oh ho ho! What is this? Mr. Darcy has a betrayal secret? Do tell!

Chapter 5

The intro to the Lucas family is entertaining because Mr. Lucas used to dress the dead, but according to the chapter, “Few thought it worth the expense to dress the dead in finery when they would only soil it upon crawling out of their graves.” Fair enough. Never thought about that before, but it makes complete sense.

My mind wandered a bit. One of my favorite little memes is when someone tweeted (twas long enough ago that Twitter was still Twitter) something like, get off your high horse, we’re all buried the same way. Or something, and someone replied as if as an Egyptian Pharaoh like, speak for yourself, peasant! With a pyramid in the clapback. And I think that’s funny.

Also, mummies are essentially zombies, but, like, if they’re wrapped up, and the wrappings aren’t deteriorated, do they just wiggle around upon reanimation until they can break free? I guess zombies in P&P&Z must be strong to bust out of a wooden coffin, through presumably 6 feet of dirt, to wander around searching for brains. So, maybe tight wrappings wouldn’t hinder them either. Tangent over lol.

Anyways, the gossiping ladies of Mrs. Bennet, Mrs. Lucas, and the Bennet daughters are amusing. Going from how “agreeable” Mr. Bingley is to a moment of silence for Mrs. Long’s brain being eaten at the dance back to how Mr. Darcy is rude and Lizzy would’ve cut his throat if the unmentionables wouldn’t have crashed the party was the best kind of hilarious whiplash.
