Pride and Prejudice is the story of the Bennet family and their romantic life. Mainly the romantic life refers to the five unmarried girls in the family: Jane, Elizabeth, Mary, Kitty and Lydia. Their mother, Mrs. Bennet, was desperate to see her three eldest daughters (Elizabeth, Jane and Lydia) married, and the news of the wealthy bachelor Mr. Bingley and his friend Mr. Darcy moving to town was one of great excitement for her. Mrs. Bennet was a woman on a mission in this story and was willing to do whatever it took to achieve her goal. Mrs. Bennet was persistent and didn't care. Bennet is described by the author as "a woman of little understanding, little information, and an uncertain character." As a young woman she was good-looking and won her husband over with her looks, but this eventually faded when her crass behavior began to neglect her beauty. Beneath that beauty was a loud, awkward woman. To add to the list of her not-so-flattering qualities, she wasn't even the smartest person, and she basically made a fool of herself every time she spoke. Being from the upper class of a Georgian British society, he felt he had the right of passage to behave in a rough manor and believed he deserved to get what he wanted. Everyone in the story, at one time or another, felt that Mrs. Bennet was just a nuisance and were very ignorant in what she said and did. I'm sure her daughters felt like she was just too nosy and too involved in their personal lives. Throughout the book Mrs. Bennet's opinions of people change sporadically. Her feelings towards men usually change based on whether or not they will be suitable for her daughters. She expects nothing but the best for her daughters, which is why she was so desperate to find a suitor for them. Although, with her rude behavior, Mrs. Bennet even drove away some of the very suitors she had tried to attract. It also later becomes a major deterrent on Bingley and Darcy's paths in searching for his daughters. Mrs. Bennet was a "gold digger" so to speak, and that's why she married Mr. Bennet so she could settle down for life and not have to worry. She wanted her daughters to do the same thing and be as well off or even more so than she was.
