Abstract
This paper discusses how the character of Mr. Bennet appears as being a bit disconnected from the rest of the society around him and how his whole attitude makes him seem like he doesn't care, or cares less than his wife does, about the lives of his daughters. It contends that in reality, this is hardly the case and how, although he rarely takes part in the dances and gatherings that make up the lives of his family, he often facilitates his family's participation and particularly in the case of Elizabeth, steps in when needed.

From the Paper
"Even as an inactive participant in the social world of the country, Mr. Bennet plays a particularly active and important role in his daughters' participation in this world. In Zimmerman's article, "Pride and Prejudice in Pride and Prejudice", he argues that "Mr. Bennet's characteristic speech is ironic, and the pervasiveness of the irony reflects his refusal to commit himself to any action." It may appear that Mr. Bennet does not care for the wealth and well being of his daughters. This is false, as Austen tells the reader that "Mr. Bennet had very often wished, before this period his life, that instead of spending his whole income, he had laid by an annual sum for the better provision for his children, and of his wife, if she survived him.

From the Paper
"In the book Pride and Prejudice, there are so many valuable themes and ideas that it could be explored endlessly. Jane Austen's use of character development and Elizabeth, the protagonist, can help the reader to recognize the intention and feelings of the author. These things make it very obvious what Austen is thinking: that Elizabeth is a very remarkable young woman due to her confidence, which allows her intelligence to shine through, all the while making her less trapped than the other young women in the novel."

Abstract
A summary of chapter nine of the novel. The sisters and Mrs. Bennet are having breakfast at Mr. Bingley house. Mrs. Bennet contradicts Mr. Darcy over the merits of country life and town life, which reveal her own parochial attitude. Elizabeth is crucially embarrassed. This essay reflects on the development of the characters in this passage and the issues which are represented.

From the Paper
"In this short excerpt we find Mrs Bennet, her three daughters Elizabeth, Kitty and Lydia, Mr Bingley and his two sisters and Mr Darcy having breakfast in Netherfield. Elizabeth's comments are characterized by humor and irony. In this extract we are introduced to Elizabeth as 'a studier of character', as Bingley exclaims. This remark is in itself ironic, especially when we later find out that Elizabeth more than once analyzed characters completely wrong, for example in her judgment of both Darcy's and Wickham's personalities."

Abstract
This paper argues that the characters of Jane and Elizabeth Bennet in Jane Austen's novel "Pride and Prejudice" are some remarkably close to the nature of Jane Austen herself. The paper looks at how Austen presents her view and persuasion through the actions of these two girls and contends that the message given by the novel is an emphasis on the right values such as love, friendship, faithfulness and above all common sense and sincerity. Through her characters, Jane Austen speaks to women showing them they have the right to find a proper place in society but they have to be wise and sensible enough. At the same time Austen warns women not to bank on their beauty and become vain.

From the Paper
"Another significant character is Jane Bennet, the oldest and most beautiful of the five sisters. Jane and Elizabeth are probably the most positive characters of the novel who prove there is always a way how to reach cheerfulness without being humiliated, they know their own mind and insitst on their decisions. Through their attitude and actions they both convey Jane Austen's mind and persuasion and although their natures are a bit different, there is very close and nice relationship between them which reflects the authoress' affection to her sister.
"Her (Jane Austen's) almost vehement sincerity towards women largely came from what was, evidently, a ruling factor of her own life, the bond of perfect love for her sister Cassandra." (Villard, 18) Jane is portrayed as a magnificent and outstanding girl and Elizabeth is very bound to her. "

From the Paper
"Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice can be read as an historical account of gender roles, marriage, and society in the early 19th-century. Most of the characters in the novel embody traditional 19th century standards. However, the character of Elizabeth Bennet constitutes a critique of traditional norms of women's behavior. Her independence, intelligence, and bold personality do not hold to a traditional 19th-century view of women. Elizabeth's rejection of Mr. Collin's proposal does not conform to the submissive role that women were expected to adhere to. Elizabeth has no respect for the existing economic classes as seen by her rude disposition to Lady Catherine on her trip to Hunsford. Further, Elizabeth's carefree and independent nature simply does not agree with the traditionally expected role of women."
