Pride and Prejudice

   Pride and Prejudice.

    In the novel Pride and Prejudice, there was evidence of the many different  types of dysfunctional relationships. The relationship that proved most challenging  was that Mr. and Mrs. Bennett. 
There are many disadvantages that a child faces when they view the dysfunctional relationships between their parents. Such demerits include the emotional, physical and psychological breakdown of the child. The emotional and psychological breakdown of a child results in the child becoming detached. Some children channel their frustration by taking it out on others while some contain their frustration. In addition some children develop trust issues and is unable to expresss themselves frrly and openly. Drugs, alcohol and sexual relationships become a false solution as they look for an escape from their problems.Furthermore when a child is unable to deal with such complications in life, burdened with disappointment  the strain is seen on their physical appearance.    

It is very safe to say that most marriages today only exist for the sake of the child. Most marriages result in this when persons get married for the wrong reasons.  Such reasons include infatuation and monetary benefits. Marrying based on Infatuation with a person's appearance is disastrous since a persons look is fleeting. A marriage based on monetary benefits can be devastating to the relationship for both parties. The lack of common interest and communication brings about a state of dependancy and in some instances greed causing hatred. In such marriages today especially with a child involved parents will tolerate each other for the child's well- being. They are also faced with the pressure of what would be society's outlook on them as a family  so they are forced to paint a 'happy picture.' Nonetheless this does not always work for the best interest of the child as the child may notice some discomfort between the parents. Furthermore this tactic does not succeed since the separation is inevitable.
