Elizabeth Bennet
Elizabeth (Lizzy) Bennet is the core of the family. Elizabeth is the second of Mr. and Mrs. Bennet's five daughters. She is twenty years old and is intelligent, lively, attractive, and witty—but with a tendency to judge on first impression (the "prejudice" of the title) and to be a little selective of the evidence on which she bases her judgments.
It so happens that Charles Bingley, a single man in possession of a good fortune, comes to settle in the neighborhood with his two sisters and his friend Fitzwilliam Darcy, who is also rich and unmarried.
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. And through his influence, the former tie between Bingley and Jane is renewed, which leads to their engagement. 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.
Mr. Bennet
Mr. Bennet is the father of Elizabeth Bennet and head of the Bennet family. Mr. Bennet is shrewd, witty, learned and detached. He has a bitingly sarcastic humour and can only derive amusement from his "nervous" wife and three "silly" daughters--Mary, Kitty and Lydia. He is closest to his daughter, Elizabeth, and is also attached to his eldest daughter, Jane.
Jane Bennet
Jane Bennet is the eldest Bennet sister. She is generally considered to be the most beautiful of her sisters. Her character is contrasted with Elizabeth's as sweeter, shyer, and equally sensible, but not as clever; her most notable trait is a desire to see only the good in others.
Charles Bingley
Charles Bingley is a handsome, good-natured, and wealthy young gentleman, who rents Netherfield Park near Longbourn. He is contrasted with his friend Mr Darcy as being more kind and more charming and having more generally pleasing manners, although not quite so clever. He lacks resolve and is easily influenced by others.
Themes
O Theme of Marriage
O Charlotte Lucas, Lydia Bennet, Jane Bennet and Elizabeth Bennet get married to men who are sufficiently appropriate for each of them. Marriage becomes an economic rather than social activity. In the case of Charlotte, the seeming success of the marriage lies in the comfortable economy of their household. The relationship of Mr and Mrs Bennet serves to illustrate all that a marriage relationship should not be. Elizabeth and Darcy marry each other on equal terms after breaking each other's 'pride' and 'prejudice' and Austen clearly leaves the reader with the impression that the two will be the happiLydia Bennet is the youngest of the Bennet sisters. Lydia is extremely flirtatious, naive, and reckless. Her main activity in life is socializing, especially flirting with the officers of the militia. This leads to her elopement with George Wickham without much thought for the consequences to her family.
