He also didn’t try to reach out and create a better relationship with the person who was going to inherit anything. Mr. Collins is silly but he was actually trying to do more for his cousins by forming a better relationship with them.
Worth noting that the dad lets this situation stand b/c breaking the entail (which by that time was quite common) would have meant trying to stop his wife from spending it all up and he just didn't want to, so he hides behind the entail. key detail 19th cent readers would get

I don’t post about celebrity deaths, but Robert Duvall’s death hit me rather hard today. I grew up watching Secondhand Lions constantly and Uncle Hub reminded me of my grandfather. When my grandfather passed away Uncle Hub helped with my grief. Rest in Peace Robert Duvall.
I think an unexplored aspect to the dynamic of Brienne of Tarth and Jaime Lannister in the books is that Brienne is the same age Princess Rhaenys would have been had she lived. And whether Jaime is conscious of it or not, I think that plays a part in their relationship.
Happy 250th Jane Austen!
She was the first author I fell in love with and is the reason I got into writing seriously.
This is me in 2017 when I finally got the opportunity to see Jane’s final home at @ChawtonHouse ❤️
I feel like the @FrankensteinGDT adaptation by @RealGDT is going to be one of those movies that kickstarts people’s love of literature, specifically in Mary Shelley.
I had that experience with Jane Austen in the 1995 BBC adaptation of Pride and Prejudice when I was 11.
Final thought (maybe) of the day about @FrankensteinGDT is the film ends with the Creature walking into the sunlight—soaking it in the way Victor taught him, the first thing his father taught him, the first goodness he felt in the world—before beginning his life without Victor.
There’s something about the Creature in @FrankensteinGDT directed by @RealGDT being portrayed by an actor both physically and visually younger than Victor’s. I can’t explain it (especially because I’m not finished). But it adds to the visual storytelling for sure.
The visuals of the film were AMAZING, and del Toro’s films have always used color beautifully. But having the Creature being played by a physically and visually younger actor than the other characters really drives home the point of generational trauma and parent-child relations.
