In the novel Pride and Prejudice, one of the more interesting features to note is the role of Mrs. Bennet in the story. Her personality, morality, and actions (which are stimulated by her personality and morality) are a significant force in the events of the novel. By examining her words and actions, we can see just what kind of values and thoughts Mrs. Bennet has.

At one part of the book, Mrs. Bennet is speaking openly to Lady Lucas about her anticipation of the marriage of Jane and Mr. Bingley:

"It was an animating subject, and Mrs. Bennet seemed incapable of fatigue while enumerating the advantages of the match. His being such a charming young man, and so rich, and living but three miles from them, were the first points of self-gratulation . . . It was, moreover, such a promising thing for her younger daughters, as Jane's marrying so greatly must throw them in the way of other rich men . . . She concluded with many good wishes that Lady Lucas might soon be equally fortunate, though evidently and triumphantly believing there was no chance of it."

Some of the words in the above statement were italicized because they help in conveying what Mrs. Bennet's values are. The words "advantages," "match," "greatly," and "rich" all point to the fact that Mrs. Bennet views a marriage between Jane and Bingley as something that is not based on happiness, but instead it is based on the materialistic gains that will come out of it. Mrs. Bennet is excited about the marriage because Jane will have a husband who has a large fortune; however, she doesn't say a word about how much happiness they might have together. The prospect of the marriage is obviously a great delight to her, since "the business of her life was to get their daughters married." Her success depended upon the success of her daughters marrying. The wealthier the man whom one of her daughters marries is, the more successful she is in her only goal in life. Unfortunately, this self-interest and small-mindedness in her own success is problematic at several times during the novel. Even in the statement above, she makes no hesitation in believing that her success in setting up the marriage between Jane and Bingley will be unmatched by Lady Lucas. When she sends Jane over to Netherfield, hoping that Jane will fall ill so that it might increase the chances of Jane and Bingley coming together, she doesn't even think of the risk to Jane's health. When Jane is troubled by Bingley's sudden removal from Netherfield and the uncertainty of his return, Mrs. Bennet doesn't even consider the emotions that Jane is going through, and she constantly brings his name up without even thinking of Jane's feelings. She is only happy at the prospect of the marriage because it gives her a chance to boast about her own success, which is rated by how wealthy the man is. Another point that shows that Mrs. Bennet is trying to fulfill her own goals through her daughters is demonstrated below:

"'But depend upon it, Mr. Collins,' she added, 'that Lizzy shall be brought to reason. I will speak to her about it myself directly. She is a very headstrong foolish girl, and does not know her own interest; but I will make her know it.'"

Mrs. Bennet is ready to try and make Elizabeth obey her opinion without even considering Elizabeth's own. She automatically thinks that because Elizabeth refused Mr. Collins, that she doesn't know what she is doing, and Mrs. Bennet plainly shows that she will try to force Elizabeth to change her mind without even considering why Elizabeth refused. Once again this is a prime example of Mrs. Bennet's self-conceit. Throughout the book Mrs. Bennet's values are shown to be those of self-concern, insensitivity, pride, and materialism.

The word "enumerating" in the first statement is one of the keywords that gives us the impression that Mrs. Bennet is solely concerned with the materialistic advantages of marriage. Throughout the book she tries to place a value upon marriage based on how well it fulfills her goal of marrying off her daughters to wealthy men. In the following quote, she compares the value of the prospective marriage between Mr. Collins and Elizabeth and the prospective marriage between Jane and Bingley:

"Of having another daughter married to Mr. Collins, she thought with equal certainty, and with considerable, though not equal, pleasure. Elizabeth was the least dear to her of all her children, and though the man and the match were quite good enough for her, the worth of each was eclipsed by Mr. Bingley and Netherfield."

Mrs. Bennet sees the marriage of Jane and Bingley as much more gratifying to her than of the prospect of a marriage between Mr. Collins and Elizabeth, partly because Elizabeth was the least dear to her of all her children, and partly because Mr. Collins's wealth wasn't even close to Mr. Bingley's. This is the only thing that Mrs. Bennet judges when it comes to marriage. She cannot see past the materialistic advantages, and doesn't have a care in the world about the spiritual or emotional aspects of marriage. She could care less whether or not her daughters truly want to marry (such as with Elizabeth and Mr. Collins), as long as it satisfies her wants. Mrs. Bennet's thoughts of marriage only focus on how wealthy and socially prestigious the man is and nothing more; this is exactly the meaning that we can draw from the word "enumerating."

What is the effect of the word "charming" in the context of the first statement? The general meaning of the word "charming" is something that is extremely pleasing or delightful. In this case, because of Mrs. Bennet's limited view of marriage, a man is "charming" if he is a potential husband, especially one that is wealthy, for one of her daughters; however, because of her ever-changing mood, a man who is charming one day may be considered a fool the next. The two best examples of this are Mr. Darcy and Mr. Bingley. Throughout most of the book she considers Mr. Bingley to be an outstandingly charming young man, because with exception to the time when he supposedly will not come back to Netherfield, it is very likely that he and Jane will marry. During this time Mrs. Bennet thinks him to be such a delightful, charming, wonderful man; however, once she is finally convinced that he may never return to Netherfield, she speaks, "Well my comfort is that Jane will die of a broken heart, and then he will be sorry for what he has done." This is yet another example of not only Mrs. Bennet's narrow-mindedness, but also of her selfishness. She would take comfort in the fact that Jane would die of a broken heart, only because it might make Mr. Bingley sorry. Now, let's examine the reverse. Mrs. Bennet, for most of the book, thinks very lowly of Darcy, even though he is wealthier than Bingley. But, as soon as Elizabeth announces the engagement to her, she bursts out in a shower of exclamations:

"'Good gracious! Lord bless me! only think! dear me! Mr. Darcy! Who would have thought it! And is it really true? Oh my sweetest Lizzy! how rich and how great you will be! What pin money, what jewels, what carriages you will have! Jane's is nothing to it--nothing at all. I am so pleased--so happy. Such a charming man!--so handsome! so tall!--Oh, my dear Lizzy! pray apologize for my having disliked him so much before. I hope he will overlook it. Dear, dear Lizzy. A house in town! Everything that is charming! Three daughters married! Ten thousand a year! Oh, Lord! What will become of me. I shall go distracted.'"

The man who for so long was so utterly despicable to Mrs. Bennet is now charming! Once Darcy enters her mind as being the husband of one of her daughters, she is elated at the tremendous fortune that Elizabeth will have access to. She couldn't have done any better herself, and so the daughter who was once her least favorite is now her sweetest! It is a complete turning around from before, and it is all because of Darcy's wealth. So, we can say that the effect of the word "charming" in the context of the initial statement gives us the sense that to Mrs. Bennet a charming man is one who is in the position to fulfill her goal of marrying her daughters off, preferably to men of fortune.

Finally, is the phrase "throw them in the way" fortuitous, or does it help characterize Mrs. Bennet's taste and morality? It has already been determined that Mrs. Bennet's goal in life is to marry off her daughters, and that she doesn't hesitate to use whatever it takes in order to accomplish that goal, even if it may actually hinder her daughters in some way or another; therefore, if she plans on using the marriage of Jane and Bingley in order to find other "charming" men for her other daughters to marry, then that seems to coincide with everything that has been deduced about Mrs. Bennet's values already. Indirectly, her sending Jane over to Netherfield may have sparked the coming together of Elizabeth and Darcy. Darcy even admits to the good that he saw in Elizabeth when she took care of Jane at Netherfield. If Elizabeth hadn't spent so much time there, it is likely that Darcy would have never fallen in love with her. As for the suggested moral values that are implied, the image of Mrs. Bennet's daughters being "thrown in the way" suggests thoughtlessness on the part of Mrs. Bennet. It is the same thing that is seen during the entire book. She willingly compromises and imposes on her daughters as long as it helps, in her opinion, to achieve her goal of the marriage of her daughters; consequently, the phrase "throw them in the way" is not extraneous to Mrs. Bennet's personality, but actually supports what has been said about it.

Through viewing Mrs. Bennet's words and actions, we can see that she is a self-concerned, insensitive, proud, materialistic woman. Shown by the word "enumerating," she views marriage as a materialistic institution which has a value based on the wealth and social prestige of the husband. She considers a man to be "charming" if he may potentially fulfill her objective of marrying her daughters, and in turn bring success to her. The phrase "throw them in the way" supports the statement that she is insensitive to the feelings of her daughters and is willing to use marriage itself as a tool to aid her in forming marriages for her other daughters. Her words and actions clearly express her values, and we have seen just what kind of mental processes motivate Mrs. Bennet.
