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 ...

Reading Is My Intangible Best Friend

  Just a book lover’s perspective Photo by Annie Spratt on Unsplash Every time I go to the mall, I usually bring myself to the bookstore and stay there for approximately an hour grazing books with interesting titles and covers and sniffing its pleasant earthy smell that touches my strange yet serene memories somewhere in my thought. Books make the most memorable company and it’s easy to tell why: it’s because they exhibit wonders of existing in a different life apart from the mess of reality. I will always love reading and I will daresay books are enough to keep me happy, surviving, motivated, and most of all nurtured. I keep growing because of reading and I will continue to be. Reading inspires me to write and to share my perspective from it. I’m typically asked why I don’t get bored from reading, and I admittingly like such prying questions because I also used to return the curiosity to them by asking back what’s wrong with reading and spontaneously advising them to try it too. ...
