In Chapter IX, Mrs. Bennet takes Catherine and Lydia to visit Jane. Mrs. Bennet spends the majority of her time there trying to convince Mr. Bingley to stay in Netherfield, which upsets Elizabeth. Lizzy is also embarrassed about the way her mother acts, only talking about how beautiful Jane is and comparing city life to country life. Mr. Bingley also decides that he will wait until Jane is fully recovered until he has another ball.
This is another chapter that really shows Mrs. Bennet's personality. She is desperate for her daughters to be successful, married women, and is willing to do anything to help them achieve that. All of her daughters are also more than willing to do anything, except for Elizabeth. In my opinion, Elizabeth is the only one who's opinions I agree with.
