Caily joins me in this episode to discuss the character of Jane Bennet, the supposed Ingénue of Pride and Prejudice.

Jane is kindness itself and her beauty is unmatched in Meryton. She possesses great equanimity but is Jane's only role to be the innocent, elegant and selfless sister of headstrong Elizabeth Or does she have strength and substance in her own right.

This is what we'll be discussing today as we look more closely at her character.

This podcast is about Janeites coming together, discussing Jane Austen's work, and having a few laughs along the way.

We really enjoyed making this episode and we hope you like it!
