The Bingleys and The Hursts

Caroline Bingley

Mr. Bingley’s unmarried sister, who is snobbish, conceited, scheming and jealous.

Charles Bingley

A promising young man endowed with wealth and social ease, Bingley is the owner of Netherfield. Unlike Darcy, he is very popular with everyone because he is gentle, kind, and amiable, and his manners are socially pleasing. His love for Jane is instant and pure; unfortunately, he is at first discouraged from pursuing a relationship with her.
At times, Bingley seems a bit weak, lacking self-confidence. He lets himself be manipulated by his friends and his sisters. Darcy acts like an adviser, philosopher, and guide to him, leading him away from his attraction to Jane. Unfortunately, Bingley always places a great premium on Darcy’s sense of judgement and follows his advice, almost without questions. On the whole, Bingley is a very simple, uncomplicated character. Elizabeth Bennet correctly depicts him as a man who is ‘very easy to understand’.

Mrs. Hurst

Bingley’s married sister who lives a lazy, purposeless life.

Mr. Hurst

Bingley’s brother-in-law, who is lazy and purposeless, like his wife.
