Pride and Prejudice movie characters, part 16

Elizabeth Bennet




Lizzy is supposed to be the second prettiest girl of the reported beauties in the area where Charles Bingley decides to take up residence, surpassed only by her sister Jane. One of her more endearing qualities is described here: “There was a mixture of sweetness and archness in her manner which made it difficult for her to affront anybody; and Darcy had never been so

Mrs. Bennet

Jane Austen describes Mrs. Bennet in her classic tale this way: "She was a woman of mean understanding, little information, and uncertain temper. When she was discontented, she fancied herself nervous. The business of her life was to get her daughters married; its solace was visiting and news."

Let's take a look at Mrs. Bennet in the movie versions we've been highlighting ...

Mr. Bennet

The father of the five daughters of Pride and Prejudice is described this way: "Mr. Bennet was so odd a mixture of quick parts, sarcastic humour, reserve, and caprice, that the experience of three and twenty years had been insufficient to make his wife understand his character." A bit of research I came across had an interesting point stating that at the beginning of the book, a

Charles Bingley



Bingley is probably the easiest part to play of the Pride and Prejudice characters. He is friendly, kind, and defers to Darcy in matters of importance out of regard for Darcy being a person whose family has always had money and property. There is the also fact that his friend exhibits greater self-control in his emotions, which to Bingley is an indication of dependability and

Miss Jane Bennet





Jane is described as the most beautiful of the Bennet girls and, in fact, of all Meryton. As to her character, the following excerpts give us a good idea of what Jane should be like in a movie:


(Chapter 17)

“ELIZABETH related to Jane the next day, what had passed between Mr. Wickham and herself. Jane listened with astonishment and concern; she knew not how to believe that

Mr. Wickham


Mr. Wickham is described by Jane Austen this way: “His appearance was greatly in his favour; he had all the best part of beauty, a fine countenance, a good figure, and very pleasing address.” and “when Mr. Wickham walked into the room, Elizabeth felt that she had neither been seeing him before, nor thinking of him since, with the smallest degree of unreasonable admiration.

Lydia Bennet

I’m just going to dive into this character, as we have already mentioned that we’re reviewing the characters in the movie versions of Pride & Prejudice.

Lydia is pivotal to the movement of the plot, since it is her indiscretion with Wickham that gives us a deeper view of Darcy. Elizabeth had seen a change in him when she was traveling with her aunt and uncle, however it is one
