Hamlet/Pride and prejudice Families

Hamlet family:
Family structure- Claudius is the uncle noe step dad (incest)
Relationship between Hamlet and more- very touchy/close sexually
Death-claudius killed his own brother-not a close/intimate family



Bennett's:
Mr Bennett is distant from the family
Mrs Bennett only cares about money/power for her daughters- will do anything for them to marry rich single men
Mrs Bennett tries to control the family-material side
 Mrs Bennett is completely in the lives of her daughters-doesn't give them independence and
Mrs Bennett says she would let her daughter die as long as she was "in persuit of a rich spouse" (quote)
