In Chapter I, Mrs. Bennet is telling her husband, Mr. Bennet, about a new man that is in town. His name is Mr. Bingley. Mrs. Bennet hopes that one of her five daughters will marry him because he is said to be very handsome and rich. Mr. Bennet is not as frantic about marriage, but he mentions that he would want Lizzy to be the one to marry him. Mrs. Bennet is shocked that her husband would favor one of their children. In this chapter, the author also describes the contrast in Mr. and Mrs. Bennet. She says that Mr. Bennet is an "odd mixture of quick parts, sarcastic humour, reserve, and caprice", while Mrs. Bennet is described as "a woman of mean understanding, little information, and uncertain temper."
