Darcy and Lizzy’s budding friendship (or is it more?) comes to an abrupt end when Lizzy gets a letter from Jane in Chapter 46 of Pride and Prejudice. Lydia and Wickham have run away together and so Lizzy and the Gardiner’s must leave immediately for Longbourn. Vanessa and Lauren discuss whether this plot point counts as a ‘kidnapping’ and whether marriage to Wickham is the best ending for Lydia.
Dr. Ellen Stockstill joins us at the end of the episode to discuss the trope of the ‘fallen woman’ in literature and how it maps onto real historical anxieties. Our next episode is March 10, covering chapters 47 + 48.
