Roles and Characters in PRIDE & PREJUDICE


Named Characters
(with major scenes and monologues)

ELIZABETH BENNET - the second-eldest of the Bennet daughters, she is attractive, witty and intelligent – but with a tendency to form prejudiced first impressions

JANE BENNET - the eldest Bennet sister. She is considered the most beautiful young lady, and is inclined to see only the good in others

MR BENNET - A logical and reasonable gentleman of a modest income, and the dryly sarcastic patriarch of the Bennet family, with five unmarried daughters. His estate is meant for the male heir. His affection for his wife wore off early in their marriage and is now reduced to mere toleration

MRS BENNET - the wife of Mr Bennet, and the mother of their five daughters. Mrs Bennet is a hypochondriac who imagines herself susceptible to attacks of tremors and palpitations whenever things are not going her way. Her main ambition in life is to marry her daughters off to wealthy men - whether or not any such matches will give her daughters happiness is of little concern to her

MR DARCY - Although he is handsome, and intelligent, Darcy lacks ease and social graces, so others frequently mistake his initially reserve as proof of excessive pride.  Though he is largely disliked by people for this reason, his friends (Mr. Bingley) vouch for his kindness and decency 

MR BINGLEY - a handsome, amiable, wealthy young gentleman.  He has more generally pleasing manners, although he is reliant on his more experienced friend for advice.

MARY BENNET - the middle Bennet sister, and the plainest of her siblings. Mary has a serious disposition and mostly reads and plays music, although she is often impatient to display her accomplishments and is rather vain about them

KITTY BENNET - the fourth Bennet daughter. Though older than Lydia, she is her shadow and follows her in her pursuit of the officers of the militia. She is often portrayed as envious of Lydia and is described as a "silly" young woman

LYDIA BENNET - the youngest Bennet sister. She is frivolous and headstrong. Her main activity in life is socializing, especially flirting with the officers of the militia. This leads to her running off with one, although he has no intention of marrying her


Roles and Characters in PRIDE & PREJUDICE


Ensemble Characters
(with a few scenes and select lines
These are smaller roles featured from the ensemble, and can sometimes be doubled by the same actor)

MISS CAROLINE BINGLEY - snobbish sister of Charles Bingley. Miss Bingley harbours feelings for Mr Darcy, and therefore is jealous of his growing attachment to Elizabeth. She attempts to dissuade Mr Darcy from liking Elizabeth by ridiculing the Bennet family

GEORGE WICKHAM - An officer in the militia, he is superficially charming and rapidly forms an attachment with Elizabeth Bennet. He later runs off with Lydia with no intention of marriage

MR COLLINS - Mr Collins is Mr Bennet's distant second cousin, a clergyman, and the current heir to his estate. He is a pompous man, prone to making long and tedious speeches.

LADY CATHERINE - the overbearing aunt of Mr Darcy. Lady Catherine is the wealthy owner of Rosings Park, where she resides with her daughter Anne and is fawned upon by her pastor, Mr Collins. She is haughty, pompous, domineering, and condescending and has long planned to marry off her sickly daughter to Darcy

AUNT and UNCLE GARDINER - the elegant, successful, and sensible family of Mr Bennet.  They have a strong connection to Elizabeth, and are instrumental in opening her eyes to Darcy

GEORGIANA DARCY - Mr Darcy's quiet, amiable and shy younger sister, whom she idolizes.  She is the youngest of the story, but is considered a "most accomplished woman".

CHARLOTTE LUCAS - Charlotte is Elizabeth's friend who fears becoming a burden to her family and therefore readily agrees to marry Mr Collins to gain financial security
