Also about Daphne no she doesn't want anything else. This is all she has been raised to want hope know and dream for. Some people break the mold and dream for more like Eloise but she also is not a first born daughter. She wasn't groomed to be the first member of the family. Daphne literally wasn't given anything else to yearn or want for herself, Eloise was because while Daphne was being groomed to be married Eloise was able to read and make friends.

Women back then weren’t allowed to go to school. Girls were taught by a governess hired by the family but they were mainly taught to read, sewing, piano, languages, drawing and any activities that were attractive to suitors. I think Eloise is obviously so much more likable and daphne is more of a go with the times person and a perfectionist in a way. Always wanting to do things the right way. That said I feel like in the few short scenes we’ve had with her and the duke they’ve shown her to be a little more herself with him and sortof quick with her retorts. I think Daphne is not that different from Eloise she just is always one. And yeah If one sibling is ruined they’re all impacted so there’s a lot of pressure on her to get a good match within one season. That other guy who kept getting punched was after Daphne’s Dowery (money set aside to give to her future husband. It becomes his money with the marriage. Not their money. His. So that’s why he was so desperate to marry her. I think while it doesn’t seem it to you Daphne is actually different from the other ladies in their circle and the duke has seen it more than others with her punching the guy and with their banter.

Also I do love season 1 but if you’re thinking we’re overhyping it, it’s because we just got season 2 last year which is much much better. Anthony is more likable and you learn things about him to understand more. His love interest is a fan favorite so hold in there. It will be worth it

As others have discussed, Daphne was raised to be the perfect wife and mother, as are most of her sisters. Her education was focused on skills rather than knowledge. She would have learned sewing, reading, writing, party planning/hosting, music, and dancing. When they were talking about her being accomplished they are referring to her abilities in these skills. She can play music well, she is well spoken, she can impress others in a social setting (like the queen). These are all things that would help her secure a "good" match to someone of equal or higher standing than herself. She is the first daughter/sister of a Viscount (a noble title) and therefore has certain expectations, money, and privledge. Her marriage will set the stage for her younger sisters marriage. If she marries a commoner, then it is unlikely any of her sisters will do much better. If however she marries a Duke (noble rank just below a Prince) then her sisters have more options when they are ready to marry. Its a lot of pressure and its certainly something that many people in modern society can't and don't understand. You can see to some extent that Anthony as the first son and Viscount now is under similar pressure to marry and carry on the family legacy. Meanwhile, Benedict and Eloise as the second son and daughter do not have the same level of pressure because they aren't the ones to set the tone for the family. Now if they do something truly against societal norms then they could bring "ruin" to the family, but the focus and pressure is mostly on Daphne and Anthony so they have some space to explore their own interests.

Daphne is many things but definitely not selfish. She is the oldest daughter which back in those times meant who she marries affects her entire family and if she doesn’t marry at all or at least someone from similar rank, her sisters and brothers would be not just ruined in society but have financial troubles and could not get married themselves (hence more financia trouble). She wants to marry for love but she can’t afford to not marry at all, it’s not about image it’s about survival.

it's definitely about survival! and i hope he realizes that both daphne and eloise are surviving in their own ways. it's just eloise can do so in a different way due to daphne herself

thisismaria27

exactly! eloise also has a different mindset than daphne. daphne enjoys all these things that are expected of her like dancing and pretty dresses and playing the pianoforte. she just doesn’t like the pressure of having to marry the perfectly suitable partner bc she wants to actually love her husband, which was not as common back then. Eloise on the other hand hates all of this, she can’t find the joy in it the way Daphne can and she doesn’t have the opportunity to be anything else.

I think you’re viewing this show through contemporary lens. The period doesn’t allow for women to be anything more than wives &amp; mothers and definitely doesn’t allow them to know anything about sexual acts. “Ladies” are supposed to be pure and not think about things like that so they were never thought how babies are born until their husband or mother tells them. To have sex before marriage would ruin a woman. It would be like being a slut in today’s society &amp; it only takes one man cuz then rumors spread &amp; no other man would want to marry someone they think is loose or has had sex with anyone other than them. Eloise’s character is supposed to represent the confinement of women in this period who don’t love house wife requirements like Daphne does. Daphne was almost made to love the society she’s in since she would be first one to get married &amp; set her sisters’ future up. I think you’re a bit hard on her 😂 She only knows one way &amp; she’s trying her best so her sisters don’t end up in a crappy situation cuz she’ll blame herself. It’s still a parent pouring all their money &amp; resources into a kid so they go to Harvard but they instead get into a community college. She’d feel like she let her family down if she doesn’t get it right.

I do wanna say, I get what you mean about not caring about Daphne as a main character or her story. The other stories in the season are so much better but I think once you understand her position, her character makes sense even if you never grow to care for her

I think you need to keep in mind the historical context, especially the limitation of women. Think back to when you watched Pride and Prejudice and the mom was obsessed with marrying off her daughters. Because they had no fortune if the father died (all property an money went to the male cousin) anyone left unmarried was left poor and would have needed to rely on married siblings to take care of them. With brothers, the Bridegerton girls do not need to worry about losing their money, however, at the level of society the show is focused on, women's value was still only based on their ability to marry well and marry early. Not finding a suitable husband in your debutante season, often led to the perception that the woman was "lesser or undesirable" Daphne, who states she want to marry for love, acts against the norm which probably is what intrigues the Duke. However, she knows she must marry in her coming out season if she wants to secure better matches for her siblings in the future. If marrying were only about her image, she would have accepted Burbroke who proposed early and comes from a family of similar standing. Also, the pregnant girl was not raped, she simply had sex out of wedlock which at the time meant she was perceived as "damaged goods" who needed to be kept away in case she damaged the reputation of the family or influenced the behavior of the other girls around her.

I won’t lie, it’s a little annoying that you say Daphne isn’t likable or interesting because she only cares about getting married and having babies. She cares the most about that, sure, because she was literally raised to feel that way. But she also has to get a good, rich husband in order for her sisters to do the same. If she is “ruined” for any reason, so are the rest of her sisters because that is how society worked at the time.
