Episode 8 | The Other Bennet Sister

[eddie-redcliffe]

"So this is what I wish to say. I love you, Mr Hayward. I have loved you for a very long time and know I will never love anyone as much as I love you." -The Other Bennet Sister by Janice Hadlow

[whimsynerd7]

the other Bennet sister fills me with so much hope. for the girls who were never chosen. for the girls who have never fit in. for the girls who’s sisters naturally seem to flourish socially but couldn’t understand why it wasn’t the same for them. for the girls who are overlooked. for the girls who dream of a gentle and stable love. for the girls who tell everyone they’re okay with being alone. this one was for us, love is possible.

The Other Bennet Sister

I just started it, but already have to pause and say: Big props to the composer for giving Mary, the middle sister, a theme played by the viola, the middle sister of the orchestra.

[ohthalie]

i hadnt talked about this yet, but that mary was wearing a white dress (which one of its meanings was purity) and where she's discovering, for the first time, what man's lust is...it's driving me insane since the first time i watched it.

the first time mary experiences desire is while she's looking at tom's forearms. thats her sexual awakening.but this scene is the opposite: she's the one who's desired. something that she's never felt before (even when mr sparrow had feeling for her, he never showed his lust)

mary always thought that she cant awake any s*xual desire and didnt even know what that kind of desire is. in that ball, she's faced to the most sexual encounter she had ever had.and she doesnt know what to do.

yes, she had read some of her mother's novels, but she cant understand whats happening even when her body is telling her that this is not a normal ball. that there's something more.

THE OTHER BENNET SISTER (2026)

[adancerofsymphonia]

What I loved most about The Other Bennet Sister, yes even more than Tom and Mary's love story, was how the narrative unapologetically stood its ground regarding there being absolutely nothing wrong with Mary that she needed to change and how everything was wrong with the toxic environment she grew up in and the people around her who never let her love herself. When she was pulled out of that environment and placed in an entirely new one, she didn't have a safety net but she could finally be herself without scrutiny. She also met and interacted with new people which included the love of her life.
