Pride and Prejudice is the story of the Bennet family and their romantic lives. The romantic life primarily refers to the family's five unmarried daughters: Jane, Elizabeth, Mary, Kitty, and Lydia. Their mother, Mrs. Bennet, desperately wanted to see her three eldest daughters (Elizabeth, Jane and Lydia) marry, and the news of the wealthy bachelor Mr. Bingley and his friend Mr. Darcy moving to town was of great excitement to her . Mrs. Bennet was a woman on a mission in this story and she was willing to do what it took to achieve her goal. Mrs. Bennet was the persistent type and didn't care. Bennet is described by the author as "a woman of mediocre understanding, little information and uncertain character". As a young woman, she was beautiful and won over her husband with her looks, but this eventually faded when his crude behavior began to overlook her beauty. Beneath this beauty was a loud and clumsy woman. To add to the list of her unflattering qualities, she also wasn't the smartest person, and she made a fool of herself every time she spoke. Being upper middle class in a British Georgian society, she felt she had the right of passage to behave rudely and believed she deserved to get what she wanted. Everyone in the story, at one time or another, felt that Mrs. Bennet was just a nuisance and was very ignorant in what she said and did. I'm sure her daughters felt like she was just too curious and too involved in their personal lives. Throughout the book, Mrs. Bennet's opinions of people change sporadically. Her feelings towards men usually change depending on whether or not she believes they will be suitable for her daughters. She expects nothing but him for her daughters, which is why she was so desperately looking for a suitor for them. However, in Mrs. Bennet's rude behavior, she even refused some of the suitors she had tried to attract. Later, she even becomes a major deterrent in the paths of Bingley and Darcy in pursuit of his daughters. Mrs. Bennet was a "gold digger" so to speak, and that's why she married Mr. Bennet so that she would be set for life and not have to worry. She wanted her daughters to do the same thing and be as well off or better off than she was...
