P&P 7-10

"Her hopes were answered; Jane had not been gone long before it rained hard. Her sisters were uneasy for her, but her mother was delighted" (22).

This is an important quote because it really gets into the personality of Mrs. Bennet. She's completely obsessed with getting her daughters married, even if it puts that daughter at the risk of getting ill. She doesn't, in this quote, seem to even care about them, although that is untrue. She has her priorities all mixed up.

"Perhaps I do. Arguments are too much like disputes. If you and Miss Bennet will defer yours till I am out of the room, I shall be very thankful; and then you may say whatever you like of me" (37).

Mr. Bingley is adorable here! he seems like such a pacifist and he's so honest in what he's thinking. He doesn't care that they speak badly of him as long as he isn't around to hear it. I love this piece of dialog because I think that it really shows his character as a good-humored, sweet kind of guy. This makes it easy to see how someone sweet and innocent like Jane could fall in love with him.
