Why Mary Bennet is ESSENTIAL in Pride and Prejudice | Foil Characters

[Subtitulada en español] Are you a Pride and Prejudice fan? If so, have you ever wondered what purpose Mary Bennet serves? After all, we don't see much of her in the book.

Is her purpose really just to spice up the story with poor piano skills and redundant morality quotes?

Well, in this video, we'll discuss a literary device called foils that Jane Austen used to plot her work. Which shows that not only is Mary important to the story line, but she's essential to how we understand her family and the entire book.
