Mrs. Bennet is a character from Jane Austen's novel Pride and Prejudice. She is the mother of five daughters and is primarily concerned with their marriages. Her main goal is to see them well married to secure their futures, often leading her to be anxious and somewhat overbearing. Mrs. Bennet is portrayed as a somewhat frivolous and talkative woman, often seen as lacking in social grace. Her behavior contrasts with that of her more sensible daughter, Elizabeth Bennet, who navigates the complexities of love and society with more poise and intelligence.
