Jane Bennet P8

Jane Bennet is pretty much the main character of Pride and Prejudice. She is the oldest of the five daughters of Mr. and Mrs. Bennet. Jane Bennet is very pretty and extremely nice to everyone she meets. Her sister, Elizabeth, tells her "You never see a fault in anybody." and "I never heard you speak ill of a human being in my entire life." In the beginning of the story a young man who is very rich moves to their town and Mrs. Bennet makes it her goal to get one of her daughters to marry him. He shows interrest in Jane, and they dance at the ball. Jane says that Mr. Bingly "is just what a young man ought to be; sensible, good-humoured, and lively." Mrs. Bennet sends Jane to Netherfield in the rain so she would become sick and have to stay with Mr. Bingly and his sisters for several days. Mr. Bingly's sisters did not care much for Jane, they wanted Mr. Bingly to marry Mrs. Darcy because she was from a more socially and finacially successful family. Later in story Jane's plan to marry Mr. Bingly is ruined when he unexpectedly leaves for London. Jane then gets a note from Miss Bingly stating that they would be staying in London for the winter, ending Jane's hope for marrying Mr. Bingly completely.
