Who are the main characters? What are their relationships?Just the relationships that Fitzwilliam, Jane, Elizabeth, Mr Bennet, Mrs Bennet, and...

Mr. and Mrs. Bennet and their five marriageable daughters
occupy a large part of Austen's novel, Pride and Prejudice. The
match-making mother of the mid-18th century semi-rural England and her husband, the
typical 18th century man of dry wit, constitute a pair of fascinating
foils.

Among the Bennet girls, the most rounded and dynamic
is Elizabeth. Her elder sister Jane, in a romantic love at first sight with Mr. Bingley,
seems to be a foil to Elizabeth. Two other Bennet daughters of some significance are
Lydia and Kate, both of them being immature and flirtatious. Fitzwilliam Darcy, a proud
young aristocrat with whom Elizabeth grows a love-hate relationship, is Bingley's
friend, and does play a major role in this story of
money-marriage-relationships.

We also find a foolish
clergyman in Mr. Collins, and his patroness, Lady Catherine, is the typical formidable
aunt who opposes the Elizabeth-Darcy marriage. We have a jealous young woman in
Bingley's sister, Caroline. Wickham is an unscrupulous youth who poisons Elizabeth's
mind towards Darcy and who, at the end of the book, elopes Lydia. The elopement,
however, gives Darcy a good chance to prove the authenticity of his love for
Elizabeth.

Charlotte Lucas, who marries Collins and settles
down to secure conjugal life, is yet another foil to the woman  at the core of the
novel. We may remember Mr. and Mrs. Gardiner as sympathetic guardians for
Elizabeth.
