Character Sketches

The book, "Pride and Prejudice" has quite an interesting cast of characters. Some of these include Mr Bennet, Mrs Bennet, Mr Darcy, Mr Bingley, Jane, Elizabeth and Mr Collins which will be the focus of my literary sketches.

Mr Bennet-  Mr Bennet is sarcastic and his character is one of a calm and laid back disposition. He is the husband of Mrs Bennet and the father of five girls. Unlike Mrs Bennet he isn't the least bit concerned with marrying off his daughters but instead enjoys his quiet and simple life.

Mrs Bennet- Mrs Bennet's character is one which depicts a mother who is obsessed with ensuring that all her daughters are married rather quickly. She almost seems to be unconcerned with the consequences of trying to marry them all off in such haste. Her personality is rather irritating and she isn't the least bit thoughtful or considerate of the way she agitates people. Mrs Bennet, unlike Mr Bennet is in no way a calm personality but instead is a nervous wreak.

Mr Darcy-  Mr Darcy is portrayed as proud and arrogant yet deep inside he is actually a genuine and considerate individual. He is a quiet person who would rather indulge in activities involving himself than socializing with others. He is also very critical of others.

Mr Bingley- Mr Bingley is a nice and warm individual who is very sociable and approchable. Unlike Mr Darcy he enjoys outings which involve socializing with others.

Jane-  Jane is a peaceful and simple character who doesn't find pleasing her mother at any cost, the elast bit difficult. She is agreeable and somewhat of a sweetheart unlike Elizabeth who is outspoken and defensive.

Elizabeth- Elizabeth is outspoken and opinionated. She is the favourite daughter of Mr Bennet and seemingly the more independent thinking daughter of all her sisters. She is also very considerate and protective of her sisters.

Mr Collins-  Mr collins is the cousin of Mr Bennet. He is also the heir to collect Mr Bennet's fortune in case of his death. Similar to Mr Bingley, Mr Collins is seemingly goodhearted. He offers to marry one of Mr Bennet's daughters as compensation for inheriting Mr Bennet's wealth. Mrs Bennet sees this as a very generous offer.
