Book Club From Home discussion

Hey everyone! I found some discussion questions online to share:

"It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife." How does this line alert us to the tone of the novel? What does the line imply about women? Is it timeless or outdated?

What are your feelings about Mr. Bennet? Is he a good father? A good husband? A good man?

A young, unmarried woman today won't become destitute without a man, but marriage continues to loom as an expectation. What pressures does marriage put on a woman today? Are the pressures of dating any different? What pressures do marriage and dating put on men, and are they different from the pressures women face?

Also, feel free to ask your own questions and give your own thoughts (:
