ANALYZING IMPORTANT CHARACTERS
1. Elizabeth "Lizzie" Bennet
Elizabeth is the second daughter of Mr. Bennet, she is the most intelligent
and sensible of the five Bennet sisters. She is her father's favorite daughter. Her
physical appearance is enough tall, beauty, and light brown hair. She also is
portrayed as lively, attractive, and witty. She is quick to recognize most people's
principal characteristics — for instance, she recognizes the stupidities of many
members of her family. Her fault is a tendency to judge a person from first
impressions. We think that she have a very sharp tongue that occasionally proves
too sharp for her own good. Because of her habit, she believes the words of Mr.
Wickham about Mr. Darcy. But finally the true fact reveal she realize her own
mistaken impressions of Darcy, which initially lead her to reject his proposals of
marriage. She knows that Mr. Darcy is not as worst as she thought then she falls
in love with Mr. Darcy.
o Main character
She is the focus of this story.
o Static character
The writer does not change Elizabeth’s characterization significantly.
From the beginning of the story, Elizabeth is a lively, attractive, and witty girl.
She also has the same point of view about love that is love not only about
property. The one that differ from her is only her opinion about Mr. Darcy. He
thought that Mr. Darcy is a proud person but finally she changes her opinion
when she knows the real fact.
o Round character
We determine her as a round character because she has many dimensional
characters. She has good sides (those are beautiful, attractive, lively, friendly,
etc) and bad sides (those are a sharp tongue and a tendency to judge a person
from first impressions). She is also often reacting unexpectedly. For example;
her family surprise when she wants to marry with Mr. Darcy. They never
guess that she will love Mr.Darcy.
2. Jane Bennet
She is the eldest of the Bennets' five daughters and the one considered the
most beautiful. Her physical appearance is not different with Elizabeth; enough
tall, beauty, and light brown hair but her character is contrasted with Elizabeth's
as sweeter, shyer and equally sensible but not as clever. She tends to hide her
feelings. She is incapable of suspecting the worst of people, preferring to see only
the good. Jane is closest to Elizabeth. Her true love is Mr. Bingley. She is so
similar in nature and behavior with Mr. Bingley so that we regard them as a
matching pairs in Pride and Prejudice.
Static character
The writer does not change Jane’s characterization significantly. She is
still a sweet and shy person. She always hides her feeling except for Elizabeth.
Even when Mr. Bingley comes to her house in order to say proposal of
married, she is still quite and cry. But we see that she really loves Mr.
Bingley. She loves Mr. Bingley not only because he is rich but also she likes
his attitude and style.
Flat character
Jane Bennet only has one dimensional character that is her point of view
about his love and interest to Mr. Bingley. We only see her occurrence from
that side/angle.
3. Fitzwilliam Darcy
He is Mr. Bingley’s close friend and Elizabeth’s true love. He has one
sister named Georgiana Darcy. His physical appearance is handsome, tall, and
black hair, he also often uses coat. His character seems proud and careless. He
looks proud and makes poor impression in front of stranger. Mr.Darcy sometimes
assumes that lacks of money or social status are characteristics that disqualify
people from marrying or loving each other. Elizabeth discovers this aspect from
his character and makes she refuse Mr. Darcy’s proposal of Marriage. Actually
Mr. Darcy’s characteristic is not as worst as Elizabeth thought. He is only an
awkward and stiff person especially in front of new comer. He can not mix to the
stranger well. But we see that he tries to change his character in order to get
Elizabeth’s heart. One thing that should be noted about Fitzwilliam Darcy is he is
a loyal friend. He helps Mr. Bingley to say Mr. Bingleys proposal of marriage to
Jane Bennet.
Main character
He is the male main character. Because when the story focuses on
Elizabeth, Mr. Darcy often includes in a conflict.
Dynamic character
We think that Mr. Darcy changes his character in the middle of story. But
we see that his character is not fully change. He only tries to change his
attitude in order to get Elizabeth’s heart. For instance; he is not proud to
Elizabeth anymore. In his house at Pemberley, he runs away to catch
Elizabeth and wants to accompany her. He also treats Elizabeth uncle (Mr.
Edward Gardiner) well and makes him admire.
4. Charles Bingley
He is a close friend of Fitzwilliam Darcy. He also is a true love of Jane
Bennet. He lives near the Mr. Bennet’s house. His physical appearance is
handsome, good-looking, wealthy and light brown hair. He is contrasted with his
friend Mr. Darcy as being less intelligent but kinder and more charming. He is
very interested with Elizabeth’s elder sister; Jane Bennet. He meets with Jane in a
party at the beginning of the story (introduced by Mrs. Bennet). He and Jane have
similarity in nature and behavior. Both are cheerful, friendly, and good-natured,
always ready to think the best of others. They also shy and often hide their
feeling.
Mr. Bingley is easy affected by others. Caroline Bingley (His cousin), and
Darcy believe that the Bennet family is too far down the social status and not
good enough for Mr. Bingley. But Mr. Bingley finally marries Jane bennet.
Static character
The writer does not change Bingley’s characterization significantly. He is
still a kind, cheerful, friendly, and shy person. He always interests and loves
Jane Bennet. One thing that should be noted about him is his stiffness. When
he plans to say his proposal of marriage to Jane Bennet, he is very stiff. He
can not say his proposal firstly; he must train with Mr. Darcy in the edge of
lake. But finally his proposal is accepted and he marries with Jane Bennet.
Flat character
Mr. Bingley only has one dimensional character that is his point of view
about his love and interest to Jane Bennet. We only see his occurrence from
that side/angle.
