How does it relate to pride and prejudice?
Lydia/Kitty

- Lydia and Kitty are shown as examples of The Comedy of manners because they ridicule themselves in a way that makes the Bennett family looked bad upon which is one of the reasons Mr. Bingley and Mr. Dancy are hesitant about the Bennet girls.
- By making it obvious that they are in need of a husband, it brings negative attention to the family from people in higher ranks, specially with the Lydia's scadal with Mr. Wickham.
