Pride and Prejudice
Meet the characters
Elizabeth Bennet
The heroine
Clever, witty, and quick to judge — the second of five Bennet sisters, and never afraid to speak her mind.
Fitzwilliam Darcy
The proud gentleman
Rich, reserved, and badly misunderstood. His first impression is a disaster; his second is something else.
Jane Bennet
The eldest sister
Gentle and kind, Jane always sees the best in people — sometimes more than they deserve.
Charles Bingley
The friendly neighbor
Cheerful and easygoing, the new tenant of Netherfield who sets the whole neighborhood talking.
Mrs. Bennet
The mother
Loud, nervous, and determined to see every one of her daughters married.
George Wickham
The charming officer
Handsome and easy to like. Elizabeth believes every word he says about Darcy.
