Pride and Prejudice/Characters

Mr. Bennet

 * Bookworm
 * Brilliant but Lazy
 * Deadpan Snarker
 * Parental Favoritism: Elizabeth is his admitted favorite of his daughters, as she's the one most like him in personality.

Mrs. Bennet

 * The Ditz
 * Gold Digger: It's not clear if her reason for marrying Mr. Bennet had anything to do with money, but if nothing else she's certainly a Gold Digger by proxy, and is loudly and shamelessly vocal about the fortunes of any eligible men in the vicinity and the likelihood of marrying her daughters to him. This is not without reason, given that the entailment on Longbourne means the girls must marry in order to have their livelihood assured.
 * I Was Quite a Looker: Apparently in her youth it was one of the main things going for her. And unfortunately for Mr. Bennet, he married her for shallow reasons such as that.
 * Parental Favoritism: In her case, Lydia is her favorite daughter,
 * Playing Sick: Her "poor nerves."

Jane Bennet

 * Beauty Equals Goodness: She's the prettiest and the nicest of the Bennet girls, as well as the nicest character in the book as a whole.
 * Birds of a Feather: With Bingley.
 * Cool Big Sis: To Elizabeth.
 * Love You and Everybody: The reason that Darcy comes to the (erroneous) conclusion that Jane is not particularly attached to Bingley is because she treats him with the same sweet, friendly openness that she shows to everyone.
 * Marry for Love
 * Nice Guy: A female example.
 * Proper Lady
 * Single Woman Seeks Good Man
 * Wide Eyed Idealist
 * Yamato Nadeshiko

Lydia Bennet

 * Attention Whore
 * Bratty Teenage Daughter
 * The Ditz
 * Shotgun Wedding

Mary Bennet

 * Attention Whore: In a different fashion from Lydia. Mary takes every opportunity to try to show herself off as intelligent and moral, and also jumps at the chance to perform musically whether anyone wants her to or not.
 * Bookworm
 * Captain Obvious: Most of her speeches
 * Dreadful Musician: In many adaptations. In the novel she's technically passable, but uninspired and thus not very interesting to listen to.
 * Giftedly Bad
 * Know-Nothing Know-It-All
 * Loners Are Freaks
 * Middle Child Syndrome
 * The Unfavorite

Kitty Bennet

 * Middle Child Syndrome: Kitty catches the worst of this, overshadowed by Jane, Elizabeth, and Lydia and ignored by everyone as a result. She spends most of the book trailing in Lydia's wake until Lydia goes to Brighton.

Mr. Darcy

 * Anguished Declaration of Love: Darcy's might be the most famous of all.
 * Awesome McCoolname: Fitzwilliam Darcy.
 * Big Brother Instinct: For his little sister Georgiana.
 * Birds of a Feather: With Elizabeth.
 * Good Is Not Nice
 * Heterosexual Life Partners: With Mr. Bingley.
 * Hidden Depths
 * I Want My Beloved to Be Happy
 * Jerk With a Heart of Gold
 * Promotion to Parent: For his sister Georgiana.
 * The Proud Elite: He is perceived as extremely arrogant and completely uncaring of those around him, to the point that even those who acknowledge his good looks and wealth dismiss him as someone not worth getting to know. However, this impression is unintentional, and he is, in actuality, a morally upright, deeply caring man who is very socially awkward.
 * Tall, Dark and Snarky
 * Troubled but Cute
 * Wall Glower

Bingley

 * Heterosexual Life Partners: With Darcy.
 * Nice Guy

Wickham

 * Affably Evil: Wickham is terribly charming, even after everyone knows what a scumbag he is.
 * Arch Enemy: For Mr. Darcy.
 * Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: Wickham is a male version.
 * Casanova
 * Gold Digger: Wickham hopes to secure his fortune by marrying a woman with money.
 * Good Looking Privates
 * Jerkass
 * Malicious Slander: Wickham accuses Darcy of denying him a valuable living out of petty spite; this is Serious Business for the times.
 * Shotgun Wedding: With Lydia.
 * Villain With Good Publicity

Mr. Collins

 * The Ditz
 * Professional Butt Kisser: Mr. Collins is so devoted to sucking up to Lady Catherine that he shamelessly grovels over her when she's not even present.
 * Sesquipedalian Loquaciousness
 * Settle for Sibling: Attempted, but firmly averted by Elizabeth, who wants to part of it or him.
 * Smug Snake

Caroline Bingley

 * Clingy Jealous Girl
 * Composite Character: With her sister in many adaptations.
 * Green-Eyed Monster: Towards Elizabeth due to her managing to catch Mr. Darcy's attention.
 * Hypocritical Humor: Miss Bingley, who wants Darcy for herself, tears down Elizabeth every chance she gets; most notably, she claims that Elizabeth is one of those women who try to get men's approval by putting down other women.
 * Rich Bitch
 * Sugary Malice: Especially towards Jane.

Mr. Gardiner

 * Happily Married
 * Reasonable Authority Figure: Towards Elizabeth and Jane.
 * Self-Made Man
