Charles Bingley is a young gentleman who made his wealth recently but without an estate and seeks a permanent home. He rents the Netherfield estate near Longbourn when the novel opens. By the end of the novel he moves to Derbyshire. He is Darcy’s friend but is more amiable with his good nature. He is handsome kind and charming. He is easily influenced by others.
Jane Bennet, the eldest Bennet sister is considered the most beautiful young lady in the neighbourhood. 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.
Mr.Bennet has a wife and five daughters, and seems to have resigned himself to his fate of not having a male child. He does not approve of the indecorous behaviours of his wife and three younger daughters but seems incapacitated in correcting them. He only mocks and laughs at them. He is closer to his two elder daughters, Jane and Elizabeth. He relates very well with them and shows them undisguised love and respect.
Mrs.Bennet is the wife of Mr.Bennet and mother of Elizabeth and her sisters. She is frivolous, excitable, and narrow-minded. She is susceptible to attacks of tremors and palpitations; her public manners and social climbing are embarrassing to Jane and Elizabeth. Her favourite daughter is the youngest, Lydia.
George Wickham is an old acquaintance of Darcy from childhood, and an officer in the militia unit stationed near Meryton. He is superficially charming so make friends easily. He wants to marry Elizabeth and later runs off with Lydia. He spreads malicious tales about Darcy thereby distorting Darcy’s personality and image in the community. It is eventually revealed that these tales are distortions, and that Darcy was the wronged man in their acquaintance.
Lady Catherine de Bourgh is a wealthy, haughty, domineering and condescending woman who is very class conscious. She is related to Darcy and tries to foil the marriage between Elizabeth and Darcy. Elizabeth shows her that she is respectful but cannot be intimidated. Darcy, whilst respectful of their shared family connection, is offended by her lack of manners, especially towards Elizabeth.
William Collins is Mr.Bennet’s clergyman cousin and, as MrBennet has no son, heir to his estate. He is not sensible, always eager to please his patroness, Lady Catherine de Bough and boasts of his acquaintance with and advantageous patronage from her.MrBennet, Jane, and Elizabeth consider him pompous and lacking in common sense. Elizabeth’s rejection of Collins’ marriage proposal is welcomed by her father, irrespective of the financial benefit of the proposed marriage to their family. Elizabeth is later somewhat distressed, when her closest friend Charlotte Lucas consents to marry Collins. However sheappreciatesher friend’s need for a settled position and to avoid the low status and lack of autonomy of an old maid.
Other characters in the novel include:
Mary Bennet is the only plain Bennet sister.
Catherine “Kitty” Bennet is the fourth Bennet sister.
Lydia Bennet is the youngest Bennet sister
Caroline Bingley is the snobbish sister of Charles Bingley.
Mr Gardiner is MrsBennet’s brother. He is a sensible gentleman and a businessman.
Georgiana Darcy is Mr Darcy’s quiet and amiable younger sister.
Language
The language of the novel is simple, direct and interesting. The dialogues are true to life. Jane Austen uses language to advance her themes appropriately and for vivid descriptions of environment, events and characters. The prejudices of characters are rightly relayed with appropriate exchanges. Let us look at the language in this remark by Miss Bingley about Elizabeth:
How very ill Eliza Bennet looks this morning, Mr Darcy,’ she cried; ‘I never in my life saw anyone so much alerted as she is since the winter. She is grown so brown and coarse! Louisa and I were agreeing that we should not have known her again’… For my own part,’ she rejoined, ‘I must confess that I never could see any beauty in her. Her face is too thin; her complexion has no brilliancy; and her features are not at all handsome. Her nose wants character; there is nothing marked in its lines. Her teeth are tolerable, but not out of the common way; and as for her eyes, which have sometimes been called so fine, I never could perceive anything extraordinary in them. They have a sharp, shrewish look, which I do not like at all; and in her air altogether, there is a self-sufficiency without fashion, which is intolerable’ (181).
Another hallmark of language in this novel is the use of witty, comic and ironic voice. You can find either one of these or a combination of two or more in almost every other page of the novel. Let us recall Mr. Bennet’s reaction to Mr. Collins first letter to the family. He declares in an answer to Elizabeth’s question if Mr. Collins is a sensible man for writing the way he did: “No, my dear; I think not. I have great hopes of finding him quite the reverse.
There is a mixture of self-importance in his letter, which promises well”(44). In another reaction to the same subject matter, he cuts through his wife’s hysterical demands that he should force Elizabeth to marry Collins within this comic and ironical tone:
An unhappy alternative before you, Elizabeth. From this day you must be a Stranger to one of your parents- Your mother will never see you again if you donot marry Mr. Collins, and I will never see you if you again if you do. (78)
CONCLUSION
Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice is one of the early novels in English Literature and stands out as one of the most loved novels. I choose it deliberately because of the simplicity yet rich narrative techniques. The characterization in the novel is handled appropriately for the explication of the themes and the advancement of the plot. Darcy and Elizabeth fall from an initial pride to just humiliation and self-knowledge. The learning process is painful but ultimately successful. They are led through “crises which test their understanding, judgment and feelings against earlier pride and prejudice” (Le Faye 67).
We have read Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice and analysed it in terms of the theme and style. We are concluding that it is a masterpiece that though written in the 19th century is still relevant in the cotemporary times because of the way the issues raised are treated and characters presented.
