Mary is a bookworm who draws her apt conclusions about human behavior from written wisdom. All she needs is a cat, and she would be the scourge of conservatives everywhere.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p><span>But it is because of this that so many close readers of Jane Austen\u2019s \u201cPride and Prejudice\u201d have found a role model in Mary, a girl who in modern times would skip school dances for the more reliable company of a book or a movie. As for taking up any tradwife aspirations, forget it. Mary Bennet cares very little about finding a husband because all she\u2019s ever heard is that she isn\u2019t pretty or witty enough.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<div>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-61\" height=\"691\" src=\"https:\/\/relocationacrossamerica.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/8d408771b64b53eecca91518cf148567-1024x691.jpg\" width=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/relocationacrossamerica.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/8d408771b64b53eecca91518cf148567-1024x691.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/relocationacrossamerica.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/8d408771b64b53eecca91518cf148567-300x202.jpg 300w, https:\/\/relocationacrossamerica.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/8d408771b64b53eecca91518cf148567-768x518.jpg 768w, https:\/\/relocationacrossamerica.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/8d408771b64b53eecca91518cf148567-1536x1037.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/relocationacrossamerica.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/8d408771b64b53eecca91518cf148567.jpg 1692w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<p><span>(BBC\/Bad Wolf\/James Pardon)<\/span> Ella Bruccoleri as Mary Bennet in \u201cThe Other Bennet Sister.\u201d Credit: BBC\/Bad Wolf\/James Pardon<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p><span>Regardless of someone\u2019s estimation that she is the most accomplished girl in the neighborhood, impressing the cream of Hertfordshire society is impossible for a girl like her.\u00a0Once Mary starts wearing spectacles, her histrionic mother, Mrs. Bennet (Ruth Jones), gives up on her almost entirely. Her father, Mr. Bennet (Richard E. Grant), only wants his daughter to be able to see. But when he suddenly dies and the family\u2019s estate, Longbourn, passes to another male relative, Mary resigns herself to a life sentence beside a mother who can barely stand her. That is, until an affectionate aunt and uncle, the Gardiners, intervene on Mary\u2019s behalf, inviting her to London and a fresh start.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve always held a soft spot for the Forgotten Child types in fiction, which is easy enough since they\u2019re usually the ones who are interesting enough to feature in TV series and movies. But Mary is different from the superpowered variety of the trope, or the brilliant outcasts in teen movies like \u201cMean Girls,\u201d \u201cSixteen Candles,\u201d \u201cThe Edge of Seventeen\u201d or \u201cThe Perks of Being a Wallflower.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p><span>All these heroes and heroines are recognizably cool to their audiences, while the kindest thing Austen can say about Mary is that she\u2019s the plain middle sister sandwiched between two hotties on the older side, Jane and Elizabeth, and two rambunctious younger ones, Kitty and Lydia.<\/span><\/p>\n<div>\n<div>\n<p>The world\u2019s Marys understand that while beauty fades, the art of fascination has no expiration date.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><span>If every author is a parent to their characters, then Austen, Mary\u2019s true mother, is a good deal crueler than Mrs. Bennet. She describes her as having \u201cneither genius nor taste; and though vanity had given her application, it had given her likewise a pedantic air and conceited manner, which would have injured a higher degree of excellence than she had reached.\u201d<\/span><\/p><p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/relocationacrossamerica.com\/?p=57\">Drake wins with \u201cIceman\u201d trilogy, whether we like it or not<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p><span>In \u201cThe Other Bennet Sister,\u201d Janice Hadlow, who wrote the 2020 novel on which the 10-episode series is based, plays the loving benefactor with a reading that\u2019s far more generous and understanding. In her view, Mary is an introvert who simply needs people like her aunt (Indira Varma) and uncle (Richard Coyle) to encourage her to redefine the terms of her life.\u00a0Among new friends in London, Mary\u2019s studiousness makes her a formidable intellect. That she is entirely unlike most other women conforming to common definitions of femininity and \u201cproper\u201d etiquette captures the attention of two eligible bachelors: William Ryder (Laurie Davidson) is adventurous, charming and admires Mary\u2019s willingness to buck social convention. Tom Hayward (D\u00f3nal Finn), meanwhile, is a kind man who loves poetry and, yes, also wears spectacles.<\/span><\/p>\n<div>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-62\" height=\"691\" src=\"https:\/\/relocationacrossamerica.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/68fc640f0522e829ceaca245ecf19254-1024x691.jpg\" width=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/relocationacrossamerica.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/68fc640f0522e829ceaca245ecf19254-1024x691.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/relocationacrossamerica.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/68fc640f0522e829ceaca245ecf19254-300x202.jpg 300w, https:\/\/relocationacrossamerica.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/68fc640f0522e829ceaca245ecf19254-768x518.jpg 768w, https:\/\/relocationacrossamerica.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/68fc640f0522e829ceaca245ecf19254-1536x1037.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/relocationacrossamerica.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/68fc640f0522e829ceaca245ecf19254.jpg 1692w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<p><span>(BBC\/Bad Wolf\/James Pardon )<\/span> Ella Bruccoleri as Mary Bennet and Donal Finn as Mr. Hayward in \u201cThe Other Bennet Sister. Credit: BBC\/Bad Wolf\/James Pardon<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p><span>In Austen\u2019s eyes, it\u2019s Lizzy, not Mary, who is the black sheep. Mrs. Bennet may not care much for her little bookworm of a girl, but \u201cPride and Prejudice\u201d specifies Elizabeth as her least favorite child; Mary is simply easier to ignore.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p><span>Even so, Austen fulfills the reader\u2019s assumption that her strong-willed heroine is attractive enough to find a love match \u2013 and not just any old chap but one of the greatest romantic leads in all literature, Mr. Darcy.<\/span><\/p>\n<div>\n<p><span>Mary, on the other hand, is a clumsy bird who, in Hadlow\u2019s telling, becomes a perfectly capable duckling swimming fiercely amid a bevy of swans. No wonder audiences made \u201cThe Other Bennet Sister\u201d a hit in the U.K., where it premiered to 7.3 million viewers across all BBC platforms.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p><span>Ours is an age not only of cultural backsliding but also of people uprooting themselves for the sake of safety and reinvention. Today\u2019s Marys have left or are leaving behind the places where they never fit in, whether that\u2019s school, church, their families or group chats or social media feeds, to find places that welcome them as they are. She would be the person opting out of demands to dress, look and behave a certain way to appease the opposite sex. In life, she\u2019s the kid who realizes that parents don\u2019t love all their children equally, and instead of lamenting that absence, surrounds herself with a chosen family that values her as she is. The world\u2019s Marys understand that while beauty fades, the art of fascination has no expiration date.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p><span>This year brings us at least three significant Austen adaptations. Aside from \u201cThe Other Bennet Sister,\u201d Daisy Edgar-Jones will topline a new version of \u201cSense and Sensibility\u201d set to debut in the fall. Sometime in the second half of the year, Netflix is rolling out a six-part miniseries version of \u201cPride and Prejudice\u201d starring Emma Corrin as Lizzy Bennet and introducing Hopey Parish as Mary.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p><span>\u201cThe Other Bennet Sister\u201d represents Bruccoleri\u2019s first major role where she\u2019s leading the action instead of hugging a wall, unvarnished by cosmetics or anachronistic needle drops hinting at some hidden reserve of chic. This is not a tale where the heroine\u2019s acceptable aesthetics are revealed by her removing her glasses or allowing her tousled waves to tumble out of a tightly pinned hairdo. No, Mary is who she is, glasses and all, and it\u2019s our pleasure to truly see her with the 20\/20 clarity she deserves.<\/span><\/p><p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/relocationacrossamerica.com\/?p=55\">Trump admin faces scrutiny for how it\u2019s handing out billion-dollar border wall contracts<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p><span><em>\u201cThe Other Bennet Sister\u201d is streaming on BritBox.\u00a0<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;The Other Bennet Sister&#8221; proves it\u2019s the quiet ones we need to be watching<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":60,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[17],"tags":[129,4,130,131,132,58],"class_list":["post-63","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-culture","tag-britbox","tag-commentary","tag-jane-austen","tag-the-other-bennet-sister","tag-the-swell","tag-tv"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.7 -
