Mr. Bennet, who owns the Longbourn mansion and estate, despite his logical nature, married a woman who was hollow and tactless in the heat of his youth, making perhaps the only mistake of his life, but he spent the rest of his life withdrawing from this mistake into his library. He is not very interested in his daughters' future, evaluating what happens like a theater scene by watching it only from his own ironic and sarcastic frame. However, he pays the price for his passivity very heavily with the scandal of his youngest daughter Lydia going down a bad path with Wickham and feels for once exactly how guilty he was; yet, he gets over it easily. Ultimately, he finds satisfaction in the happiness of Elizabeth, the daughter he respects the most and whose intelligence he praises.
Although he appears very rational, because he united his life with an ignorant woman simply by being smitten by her former beauty, this state of intellectual rebellion and indifference has become a fate he chose for himself over the years.
An elderly man with calm reactions and a respectable appearance who looks like a philosopher from behind his spectacles.
Lydia
The foolish adolescent daughter who brings him shame.
Wickham
The hateful son-in-law whom he made clear he was mocking from the beginning; although he felt like challenging him to a duel, he removed him from his life through a dishonorable settlement.
Elizabeth
His favorite eldest daughter, whose mental flexibility is the most compatible with his own.
Bayan Bennet
His wife, for whom he has not a shred of respect due to the mistake of their marriage, and whom he finds hollow.
