The absolute mistress of Rosings Park, a stern aristocrat who desires for her nephew Mr. Darcy to marry her daughter, Anne de Bourgh. She is also the obsequious patroness of Mr. Collins. She is known for her ruthless obsession with social rank, rules, and customs, as well as her tyrannical belief that everyone should obey her. She vehemently opposes her nephew's union with someone of a lower class like Bennet. However, her personal intervention at Longbourn to prevent this marriage did not end the love between them; on the contrary, it became the catalyst that ultimately united the destinies of Darcy and Elizabeth.
Having combined the power of her noble family with the wealth of her marriage, she has lived a life where no one has ever opposed her, fueled by the arrogance of superior power.
A tall, large, elderly woman who bears signs of having once been beautiful, but whose features are now sharp due to her rigidity and arrogance.
