Pride and Prejudice movie - Interesting ending

[LiberalFighter]

The movie based on novel written in 1813 about a family in England with five unmarried daughters. At the end of the movie the father says "Well, perhaps it's lucky we didn't drown any of them at birth, my dear."

Maybe Alito is likely okay with drowning female babies at birth?

Considering his penchant for using medieval historical facts.

1. Austen was brilliantly adept at satire and wry humor

Everything she wrote has to be viewed in that light.

2. Mr. Bennett is a sarcastic character, and so screenwriters will use a phrase like that

without ever implying that was something that Regency families (about 200 years after the latest 'medieval' time) thought of doing. And Austen doesn't use it in the novel.
