Pride and Prejudice
Kitty Bennet
The fourth Bennet sister
Lydia's shadow, a giggling younger sister who goes wherever Lydia leads. She wants to be at every ball and in every officer's company.
Catherine Bennet, called Kitty, is seventeen, the fourth Bennet daughter and Lydia's constant companion. She is giggly and easily led, and she copies Lydia's enthusiasms for officers and parties. She tends to whine when she does not get her way.
Kitty is not a bad girl, but she follows the loudest voice around her. In earlier chapters she and Lydia are almost always seen together, begging to attend the next ball.
In the story
Contains spoilers.
Kitty has a modest role in this adaptation. She begs along with Lydia to go to the assembly ball and is delighted when Mr. Bennet reveals he has already called on Bingley. She is part of the household bustle at Longbourn through the whole story.
She stays on at Longbourn through the family's later crisis. Kitty remains very much in her sister Lydia's shadow, and the story does not give her a romance of her own.
