Bennet Wardrobe FAQs
Why
the Wardrobe as a device to create a story arc in the Pride & Prejudice
Universe?
Through my years of reading Jane Austen’s
fiction, I found myself gravitating toward the side characters—particularly
those in the greatest novel…Mary the moralizing sister…Kitty who coughed and
wilted in the glare of her younger sister’s boisterousness…Lydia who was,
frankly, just this side of being a slut…Thomas who could have done so much more
as a father.
JAFF writers have sought to carry on the ODC
saga by offering the younger sisters their own storylines. Epilogues usually
place Mr. Bennet in the bowels of the Pemberley Library. Mrs. Bennet is rarely
mentioned—and is often dispatched with a bout of apoplexy.
