Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen is the tale primarily of the romances and consequent marriages of the two Bennet sisters, Jane and Elizabeth. These are the two main characters in the book, Jane 22 and Elizabeth, the heroine of the story, 22. They are both quite young but old enough to know how the world works and what goes on in life. They both find excellent partners and make very favourable marriages. Bingley, Jane's husband, is a good, entertaining and kind man, though rather weak willed. Darcy, Elizabeth's partner, is a good, interesting and very strong willed man, making this the perfect, fairy-tale marriage.

Pride and Prejudice begins with Mrs Bennet, the mother of Jane and Elizabeth talking about how excellent it would be if one of them were to marry the most eligible bachelor in the area. This seems rather pathetic of their mother, wanting her daughters to marry a man just because he has money, but it is soon revealed that the Bennet's are rather poor and if Mr Bennet were to die they would loose the house and be left destitute. Therefore for the survival of the girls and their

Jane is a good person at heart, and believes others to be likewise, this means she is slightly naive, she expects all people to have pure and good motives for everything and seeks to find good in everyone. This means that when someone hurts Jane she will not feel badly towards them, the only time someone hurts Jane enough to lose her regard of them is Miss Bingley in the letter she sends Jane and the way she calls on Jane in London, but does not inform Mr Bingley of her presence in the city. After this Jane says nothing on the matter but just stops contact with her. Jane's view of humanity is precisely summed up in her sister's words to her: " You never see fault in any body. All the world are good and agreeable in your eyes. I never heard you speak ill of a human being in my life." Elizabeth has a very high view of her sister for this, and thinks that she can never aspire to the goodness of her sister. She says to her, almost in desperation: "You are too good, your swee!

mother at least one of them must make a favourable marriage. Jane falls in love with the afore mentioned 'eligible bachelor', and though they are split up by a 'friend' for a while they do eventually marry. An extremely rich and famous man, one of the most sought after men in the country falls in love with Elizabeth, and although she initially rejects his proposals of marriage, thinking him too proud, does slowly fall in love with him, realising his pride was only shyness, and they become engaged.

The relationship between Jane and Bingley is more sedate, it is a never faltering love. Even when Jane is left by her love of Bingley never decreases. There relationship will probably not have the great highs and lows of Elizabeth and Darcy, but will be a fine relationship as they love each other deeply, and care for each other. IT is basically a good, sound and considerate marriage, where neither of them will ever be hurt.

tness and disinterestedness are really angelic; I do not know what to say to you. I feel as if I have never done you justice, or loved you as you deserve."

Elizabeth is more of a realist; she sizes up people, not cruelly, but justly and with the ability, usually, to make a good, valued judgement of their true personality. Her judgment is usually correct, in that she immediately sees Mr Collins as a pompous fool, and Lady Catherine as a tyrant. She can also see the faults of her family despite her closeness and love to them. The only problem with this is that she is quick to judge and once she has judged will stay with this opinion until
