The character i find most interesting in the novel would be Mr. Bennet. When he's home with his family he is very seclusive, and doesn't really talk to anyone in the household. Most of the time he's off on his own, reading or doing something individually of some sort. However, when Jane goes away, he suddenly becomes very protective, wanting her to call and write and be in cosntant contact, which is so ironic because when Jane was around he barely even acknowledged her. in a way i think he kind of takes for granted what he has, until it's gone.
I think Mr. Darcy is the most intersting character because of the multiple impressions he gives off to the other characters. At first, Elizabeth finds him very "disagreeable" and wants nothing to do with him. She spends four days with him and her opinion only grows stronger. Her family then starts to view him as too proud and conceited, as well. Elizabeth and the Bennets continue to hold this opinion, and it's reinforced by Mr. Wickham's stories, and Elizabeth even passes the opinion onto her aunt and uncle. However, upon finding out the truth behind Wickham's stories and seeing Mr. Darcy's changed behavior at Pemberley, Elizabeth is taken aback, to say the least. She begins to think of him not as conceited, but as kind, polite, and warmhearted. It's hard even for the reader to really grasp the true nature of Mr. Darcy, and I think that's what makes him so interesting.
I really like Mr.Darcy because he is so seclusive to most all the other characters of the book. His dark brooding nature really is prominant and his sudden change of character shows how uch he likes Elizabeth. I like how Elizabeth as she starts to like him feels gratitude towards him, especially with what he has done for her family. His unstaggering care for his sister is really the caring person that Austin wants the reader to see.
I agree completely with Kayleigh. I think Mr. Darcy is most interesting because it's hard to get a really good idea of his character. We begin the novel by seeing him in a very negative light, where he is proud and conceited. This idea is only heightened by the time Elizabeth spends around him while at Netherfield, and then again by her certainty that he has something to do with breaking up Jane and Bingley. However, we see a softer side of him as he falls for Elizabeth, and a still more genuine and admirable side upon reading his letter to her. His actions at Pemberly towards her aunt and uncle and herself show a complete 180 in Darcy's personality. It's fascinating to behold the change in him from his prideful state to his loving state and I think it's this change that makes him so interesting.
I found Elizabeth the most interesting. She is witty and not afraid to speak her mind. I liked how she did not take Darcy's insult in the beginning personally and laughed it off with her sister. I think she is a unique woman for the time period.
I thought that the most interesting character was -- no joke -- Mary. All she does is play god-awful music. How is she not bored out of her mind?
I also thought Mr. Bennet was interesting. He made a distinct first impression in the very beginning of the book. Mrs. Bennet begged him to arrange a meeting with Mr. Bingley. He refused over and over just to annoy her while going ahead with the meeting anyway. The vibe I got was that he was one of those people that thinks they're deep, yet are really just...well frankly weird.
I find Elizabeth most interesting. She seems like such a strong woman, who is strangely outspoken and independent for a woman of these times. It is almost like Jane Austen was peering into the future of feminism when she developed Elizabeth. I also like how witty she is.
In my opinion, which is basically fact, Mr. Darcy is the bomb. He is that guy that all the girls love in movies. Hes that guy that is really dark and mysterious, and because of this the reader always wants a little more. Its like you get a little appetizer of Darcy but you always want it for a main course(i hope thats not a weird metaphor). I think his personality is what makes him the most interesting chracter in the book.
I think that Mr. Darcy is the most interesting character in the book. You don't really know much about him in the begining, and then you get a negative impression of him and you think he is the "bad guy" of the novel. Then he changes and he marries Elizabeth. He completely changes Elizabeth's mind, from hating him, to falling in love with him. I think that makes him interesting. -Kori
I'd have to say that Mr. Bennet is the most intersting character. Many other characters are more attractive or enjoyable to read about, but when I go to analyze the characters, Mr. Bennet throws me for a loop. I just don't understand how the Bennets can go about acting like the are to most proper family with such desirable daughters when...really...aren't they sort of disfunctional? By disfunctional, I mean like how Mr. Bennet really has such little presence in his girls' lives. Was that part of the effects of society at the time?
