Pride and Prejudice/Characters


Mr. Bennet

Mrs. Bennet

  • The Ditz
  • Gold Digger: It's not clear if her reason for marrying Mr. Bennet had anything to do with money, but if nothing else she's certainly a Gold Digger by proxy, and is loudly and shamelessly vocal about the fortunes of any eligible men in the vicinity and the likelihood of marrying her daughters to him. This is not without reason, given that the entailment on Longbourne means the girls must marry in order to have their livelihood assured.
  • I Was Quite a Looker: Apparently in her youth it was one of the main things going for her. And unfortunately for Mr. Bennet, he married her for shallow reasons such as that.
  • Parental Favoritism: In her case, Lydia is her favorite daughter,
  • Playing Sick: Her "poor nerves."

Jane Bennet

Lydia Bennet


Mary Bennet

Kitty Bennet

  • Middle Child Syndrome: Kitty catches the worst of this, overshadowed by Jane, Elizabeth, and Lydia and ignored by everyone as a result. She spends most of the book trailing in Lydia's wake until Lydia goes to Brighton.

Mr. Darcy

Bingley

Wickham

Mr. Collins

Caroline Bingley

Mr. Gardiner
