Mr. Bennet
Mrs. Bennet
Mrs. Bennet is the querulous, excitable and ill-bred wife of Mr. Bennet and mother of Elizabeth and her sisters. She is particularly indulgent towards Lydia. Her main concern in life is seeing her daughters married well to wealthy men, so that they will be taken care of following Mr. Bennet's death. However, her foolish nature and frequent social faux pas often impede her efforts towards this end. Her single-minded pursuit of future husbands for her daughters can also blind her in several ways to their welfare and best interests in the present. Mrs Bennet can be very two-faced in her opinions of people.
1. However, Darcy continues to be attracted to her, in spite of himself, till he proposes to her but is rejected indignantly. Later on, on a trip to north of England with her uncle and aunt, Elizabeth chances to meet Darcy, who receives them very warmly and shows greatly improves manners. Thus pride is checked and prejudice removed. 2. Just at this point, news reaches Elizabeth that her youngest sister Lydia has eloped with Wickham. By Darcy’s help, their marriage is finally brought about. 3. And through his influence, the former tie between Bingley and Jane is renewed, which leads to their engagement. 4. Darcy and Elizabeth also become engaged despite the intervention of Lady Catherine de Bourgh. The story then ends happily with the marriages of Jane and Elizabeth.
