What does it mean that Mr Bennet's property is entailed in Pride and Prejudice?
The fact that the property is entailed means that at some point in the history of the family, a will was made out stipulating that the property could only go to a male heir and that this would be the case in perpetuity. There are two cases of entailment in Pride and Prejudice that are subjects of discussion. The entailment of Mr. Bennet's estate is the more important and is mentioned repeatedly since it is important to the plot and involves the heroine. The other is Lady Catherine's mention of the relative situation at Rosings. Her estate is not entailed to a male heir, and so it can pass to her daughter, who will be wealthy as a result. This contrasts with the Bennet girls' need to marry to maintain themselves.
