Summary of Illusions and Ignorance: Mary Bennet's Story
Meet the Bennet's again...
This book is a romance which revisits the Bennet Family a few years after Pride and Prejudice. In it, Mary Bennet, is the key to all the action, just as Elizabeth was key to the action of Pride and Prejudice. Mary, who is under the impression that Elizabeth was married well only in order to provide for her sisters, relaxes in the happy thought that she will never have to marry. Mrs. Bennet refuses to accept such a future for her, and works to change her mind. Meanwhile, her observation of her older sister Jane's happy situation, even with the unmarried sister (Carolyn Bingley) living with them, convinces Mary that she could just as well live out her life with Elizabeth and Darcy. Carolyn's later marriage to Darcy's cousin Colonel Fitzwilliam, and Jane's rather obvious relief, give her second thoughts. Her study of marriage through her sisters' experiences continues to change her mind, as does her new appreciation of her parents' marriage and that of her Aunt Gardiner. In the end, circumstances settle the whole puzzle for her, quite to her satisfaction.
