Jena Malone as Lydia Bennet 
Lydia's focus is purely ribbons and
soldiers. She's fifteen years old and she's very silly and she's very
romantic and she's in love of the idea of being in love... (about Lydia
Bennet from P&P companion book)
~*~
"Oh, Mama!
You must all go to Brighton, for that is the place to get husbands. I
hope you have half my good luck." (Lydia Bennet)
~*~
"Her options are so different than our options today. For her the only
way to secure her life is to get married; otherwise you live with your
family or leave home and are a governess in someone else's family, which
gives you a lower social status, and no hope of marrying anyone of your
own particular class. Many women were much more pragmatic about reasons
for marrying, and the idea for marrying for love was regarded as
frivolous. But Lydia was in love with love, so she is over-joyed to
elope with handsome young Wickham. She fails to see any disastrous
consequences, and returns triumphantly to her family home, the only
married daughter, thrilled to be able to lord it over the others." (Jena
Malone)
"She [Jena Malone] was wonderful.
I tell you what, I think Lydia is an incredibly difficult part to play,
I think it is one of the hardest parts and we met a huge amount of
actresses for that role and finally we were in LA doing some casting out
there and she had driven seven hours from Lake Tahoe to come and meet
us by herself and she turned up this funny little thing. I thought, 'Oh
God, you’re so obviously not going to be Lydia,' and then she started
reading her and it was extraordinary. She kind of reminded me a little
bit of Nicole Kidman in 'To Die For' and I thought that was
interesting." (Joe Wright)
