    Darcy's proposal initiates Elizabeth's internal struggle. She stubbornly adheres to her opinion of Darcy while his continual referrals to her social inferiority, interference with Jane and Bingley and disinheritance of Wickham fuel her anger. Elizabeth's prejudice against Darcy prevents her from considering any possibilities other than what she already believes. Elizabeth's defensive reaction to Darcy's simultaneous proposal and insults suggests a fear in realizing that she may have feelings for him, which she would be unable to act on because crossing the bar that separates them would be socially unacceptable.…

    Among Mr. Collins, Mrs. Bennet, and Lady Catherine de Bourgh, Mrs. Bennet is the prime example of a static character. From the very beginning, learning of Mr. Bingley arriving into town, we see the wheels in Mrs. Bennet's mind start to turn. "Oh! Single, my dear, to be sure! A single man of large fortune, four or five thousane a year. What a fine thing for our girls!" (6). Right away she is setting them up for the game, because in her head one of her girls has to marry the rich man. She views the thought of a wealthy man entering town as the perfect oppurtunity to have her daughters step up into the rich community. Marrying off her daughters serves as the main purpose in Mrs. Bennet's life, and she stays that way throughout the book. To everyone's dismay, Mrs. Bennet even has her eldest daughter travel to see the Bingleys by foot, since "it seems likely to rain, and then you must stay the night" (28). Having her daughter walk through the rain and become ill was not a bad thing to Mrs. Bennet, but a way to get her daughter married off. Upon the proposal of Mr. Collins and Elizabeth, Mrs. Bennet even goes so far as to say, "[I insist upon her accepting it], or I will never see her again" (96). Mr. Bennet goes on to say how she should not marry Mr. Collins, while Mrs. Bennet "talked to Elizabeth again and again, coaxed and threatened her by turns" (97). Mrs. Bennet will never give up on marrying off the girls, it's something she has always done, and always will…

    Elizabeth is a realistic and masterful character, which makes all her qualities of strength and independence intensify and create an ideal stability between her emotions and what is reality. Her passion and overwhelming capability to stand her ground is just an introduction into her ability to be able to oversee the weak, the naïve and the dominating. Elizabeth proves her daring abilities in her meeting with Lady Catherine, which leads to a battle between respect and independence. Elizabeth tested Lady Catherine's desires for personal information by holding back her true story, and Elizabeth suspected that she was "the first creature who had ever dared to trifle with such dignified impertinence"(124-125). Elizabeth is a character who has enough courage to acknowledge her faults and her inaccuracy. After reading Darcy's letter, she distinguished the fact that she had judged him incorrectly. She scolded herself for her inaccurate opinions and for being blinded by her thoughts. She wasted no time in facing up to the unpleasant truth about herself "How despicably I acted. Till this moment I never truly knew myself"(156). Her character is greatly respected and creditable for admiration. She is a character that is undeniably strong and intellectual, and at the same time fascinating.…

    Mr. and Mrs. Bennet as a person are different especially between a father who cares about what’s inside of people and another who only worries about the quality of people who have too much pride in their own appearance. Mr. and Mrs. Bennet's whole romance must have been like. A beautiful, fun-loving girl from a middle-class family (meaning that her dad was in trade) meets a funny guy on the lower end of the gentry totem pole. They make cow-eyes at each other, and bam! Whirlwind courtship ends in a nice wedding ceremony.…

    This novel, being written in the eighteenth century, still provides many current, controversial themes. What is marriage about? Why should it be pursued? Mrs. Bennet seems to think that fortune precedes love when it comes to marriage. When first speaking of Mr. Bingley, Mrs. Bennet shares her excitement by saying “a single man of large fortune;…what a fine thing for our girls!” (1). She finds it convenient for her daughters that the single Mr. Bingley has moved near to Longbourn. All she truly wants is to have her daughters married to respectable, wealthy men. Love, she feels, would be a lucky bonus. Because of this, the relationship between Mr. and Mrs. Bennet seems to be questionable as well.…

    Bennet’s words to Mr. Bennet illustrate that a woman is not allowed to do certain things without permission of her husband. She said “Impossibile, Mr. Bennet, impossible, when I am not acquainted with him myself,...” and “ …I knew I should persuade you at last.” (Pg9) Here, according to Mrs. Bennet, it is impossible for her to introduce herself to Mr. Bingley unless Mr. Bennet meets him first; and secondly, she expresses her happiness when she successfully convinced her husband to go for the visiting trip. This depicts that men are superior in the society and they have more power in the family.…

    The novel centralises around the Bennetts, a family of five girls and their parents. Mrs. Bennet 's primary focus in life is seeing her daughters secured in marriage. This becomes somewhat of an obsession, and the daughters react with a similar urgency to find a husband. This is in keeping with the times in which the novel was written, when the value of a woman was rooted almost entirely in that of her husband. This attitude is confirmed throughout pride and prejudice. When Mr. Bingley, who is rumoured to be handsome and in possession of good fortune appears in the plot, he is immediately targeted as a potential husband for one of the Bennet girls (Austen 1966:1). The whole household is up in arms about his arrival in the neighbourhood. Similar uproar is created by the emergence of numerous other men including Mr. Darcy (who is said to earn twice as much as Mr. Bingley) and Mr. Wickham who though he is not wealthy like the others, appears to be particularly agreeable (Austen 1966:123).…

    To begin with, Elizabeth is overcome with pride and prejudice. She has a very difficult time coming to a different conclusion of Darcy contrary to her first impression. "His character was decided. He was the proudest, most disagreeable man in the world, and everybody hoped that he would never come there again...Elizabeth remained with no very cordial feeling toward him" (8). For his part, Darcy looks down on Elizabeth for her place in society. He refers to her as common and not as agreeable as others (7-9). Darcy does not think she…
