Mrs. Bennet, a mother of five grown daughters, always desire strongly to see them all settled. This desire made humored characteristics of hers: talkative, over proud of her children, took every chance to talk about and show off her daughters. Her saying at the opening of the story "My dear Mr. Bennet, have you heard that Netherfield Park is let at last?" has become one of the most famous sentences in English literature. Her disposition is therefore defined by her strong desire to see all the daughters married.

Mr. Bingley was described as "what a young man ought to be". Bingley possessed an asset of five thousand pounds a year, which drove Mrs. Bennet crazy in the hope that he would marry one of her daughters. Beside wealth, he appeared to be sociable, friendly and soon be admired by everyone he met. Bingley had an deep affair with the eldest Miss Bennet, Jane, but he was no so consistent that he was persuaded by his friend Darcy to give up when Darcy saw Jane's indifference to Bingley. However, the couple in the end got married.
