On Bridgerton Series: Is Lady Featherington a Good Mother?

Lady Portia Featherington is an iconic ambitious Ton momma. She is infamous to the Bridgerton fans because of her hard work in securing her daughters’ future through her ingenious schemes of putting them into a scandal with a bachelor she prefers. Lady Featherington is scared of a poor life that’s why she works harder to keep her family afloat after discovering that they are “broke” because of her husband’s gambling problems that even their daughters’ dowries were ventured away.

Every mother knows and wants the best for her children, especially for their daughter/s. Ton mommas indeed push for marrying off their daughters to a man with enormous wealth and good title. Lady Featherington is after the security of their status in their fashionable society.

So, is Lady Featherington a good momma?

 

Or I suppose, the question should be: Is Lady Featherington an ethical momma?

 

Okay, let’s face the fact that she resorts to plotting one of her daughter’s scandals by compromising a gentleman who can preserve their status through marriage, but isn’t it a bit evil? A mother may not be perfect, but she must be lesser evil. She has done these for their family.

Lady Featherington loves her daughters so much that she cannot afford to see them a spinster in their lifetime. Their society is unkind to unmarried women especially if from an unprivileged class. As a mother, she needs to ensure that her daughters are well-married. Her daughters are her treasure as she had always looked after them.

Lady Featherington is one of the surprising characters in the second season of Bridgerton. The decision she took for her daughters’ plight was remarkably well-thought.

Bridgerton fans are trying to judge whether Lady Featherington is a good momma or not.

 

Perhaps, Lady Featherington is being a mother in a way she knows best and how.

 

I’m not a mother, but after watching Bridgerton Season 2, I was also left pondering if Lady Featherington is indeed a good momma. I cannot wholly judge her because it is not my place to do so.

  

If anyone who has read this post is a mother and has watched the Bridgerton series, or if you are a Bridgerton fan and Lady Featherington got into your nerves, I'm interested to know your thoughts on this.

Eloise Bridgerton Is a Mood

  She’s a cool new shaper of Feminism       Photo source: Screen grabbed from Bridgerton (Season 2)/Netflix   I’m starting to theorize that Eloise Bridgerton hasn’t read any fairytale love story that I never heard of her fantasizing about her happy ending with her ideal man. She does not regularly observe propriety as other ladies do. She is not perfectly prim, but she must be commended.    When women are supposed to be domestically practical and to behave in a ladylike manner, Eloise on the contrary wants divergence.    Eloise is one of the most admirable characters in Bridgerton considering that her roles portioned for her family, best friend, and the Ton’s fashionable society makes the best of her. She might be rebellious but I find her actions reasonable. She speaks sensibly and she acts for a cause, she is underrated but she is a diamond.   You could not enjoy Bridgerton without Eloise. Perhaps you would not ...

Why I love Stranger Things (Season 4, Volume 1)

Image credit: Netflix At last! The long-awaited fourth season of Stranger Things after 3 years have been released on Netflix. Fans (including me) are making noise around the world in joy to finally get to watch the next battle after El and company defeated the Mind Flayer at the Starcourt Mall. Avid fans’ patience in waiting has paid off as Stranger Things 4, Volume 1 surprised its audience with its longer runtime of almost horror and gruesome-themed story wrap up. The Duffer Brothers thus continue to allure viewers with wonders in every cliffhanger left at the end of each seven episodes. The thrill continues to roll at different settings: Hawkins, California, Russia, and the Upside Down. Dustin and Mike were left at Hawkins spending their school hours as members of the Hellfire Club (a Dungeons and Dragons club) led by Eddie Munson. Meanwhile, Lucas attempts to pace himself up to gain popularity by joining the Hawkins High Tigers as a basketball bench player while in a romantic conu...
