P&P #2 Chpts 7 - 10

“Bingley was quite uncomfortable: his sisters declared that they were miserable” (41).


Through the quote above we see what type of person Mr. Bingley is. Not only is he charming and handsome, but also he is kind and considerate. In the quote about we see how the moods of his sisters affect him, meaning that he is a very thoughtful person. These qualities in him are what set him aside from all the other characters that we have met, besides Mr. Bennet. Mrs. Bennet is very much like a gold digger, and only worries about who her daughters can potentially marry. There is no depth to Mrs. Bennet, but there is certainly a depth to Mr. Bingley. His good looks and outstanding qualities is what makes him so likeable and affable.

“if your daughter should have a dangerous fit of illness, if she should die, it would be a comfort to know that it was all in pursuit of Mr. Bingley” (32).

What is the tone in which Mr. Bennet is speaking in the quote above:
a. Serious
b. Sarcastic
c. Relieved
d. Stressed
