In Chapter 41 Mr. Bennet described Lydia's character saying, "It is not peculiar, but of general evils, which i am now complaining. Out importance, our respectability in the world must be affected by the wild volatility, the assurance and disdain of all restraint which mark Lydia's character. Her character will be fixed, and she will, at sixteen, be the most determined flirt that ever made herself and her family ridiculous." (pg.167-168)
This quote really stood out to me in that the family was making sure Lydia changes her character in becoming a "flirt." They want the best for their daughters and expect them to not live there life in disgrace.
