Pride and Prejudice

Jane Austen

Character List
(part 2) George Wickham - A handsome, fortune-hunting militia officer. Wickhams good looks and charm attract Elizabeth initially, but Darcys revelation about Wickhams disreputable past clues her in to his true nature and simultaneously draws her closer to Darcy. Lydia Bennet - The youngest Bennet sister, she is gossipy, immature, and self-involved. Unlike Elizabeth, Lydia flings herself headlong into romance and ends up running off with Wickham. Mr. Collins - A pompous, generally idiotic clergyman who stands to inherit Mr. Bennets property. Mr. Collinss own social status is nothing to brag about, but he takes great pains to let everyone and anyone know that Lady Catherine de Bourgh serves as his patroness. He is the worst combination of snobbish and obsequious. Miss Bingley - Bingleys snobbish sister. Miss Bingley bears inordinate disdain for Elizabeths middle-class background. Her vain attempts to garner Darcys attention cause Darcy to admire Elizabeths self-possessed character even more. Lady Catherine de Bourgh - A rich, bossy noblewoman; Mr. Collinss patron and Darcys aunt. Lady Catherine epitomizes class snobbery, especially in her attempts to order the middle-class Elizabeth away from her well-bred nephew. Mr. and Mrs. Gardiner - Mrs. Bennets brother and his wife. The Gardiners, caring, nurturing, and full of common sense, often prove to be better parents to the Bennet daughters than Mr. Bennet and his wife. Charlotte Lucas - Elizabeths dear friend. Pragmatic where Elizabeth is romantic, and also six years older than Elizabeth, Charlotte does not view love as the most vital component of a marriage. She is more interested in having a comfortable home. Thus, when Mr. Collins proposes, she accepts. Georgiana Darcy - Darcys sister. She is immensely pretty and just as shy.

She has great skill at playing the pianoforte. Mary Bennet - The middle Bennet sister, bookish and pedantic. Catherine Bennet - The fourth Bennet sister. Like Lydia, she is girlishly enthralled with the soldiers.
