Characters: In our book, there had been one very obvious static character: Mrs. Bennet. A static character is a character that stays the same throughout the book. However, I am only half way through the book, so she does still have time to change, she just hasn't so far. Mrs. Bennet is a very odd character. She is a woman, but she is also a feminist. She has a very clear idea of what she wants her five daughters to grow up to be, and this vision is very sterotypical of a woman. She wants them to find a rich, handsome man, marry him, and be a stay at home mother raising children while he goes out and works. All of her daughters wish this for themselves too, except for one daughter, Elizabeth. Mrs. Bennet doesn't show it, but I think that she is worried about Lizzy. She is afraid she won't marry the "right kind of man" or worse (in her opinion), not marry at all. Mr. Bennet thinks that his wife is very frantic and should try to calm down, that their daughters will be fine. But she doesn't listen. She is willing to do anything to ensure that her daughters will each have perfect lives.
