Bennet actually has a good judge of character. When she first encountered Mr. Darcy, she was in fact repulsed by his pride(who wasn’t?) However where she errs is that she was so blinded by her judging him at first sight that she failed to see how happy he made Elizabeth later in the novel. The most disgusting instance she has is when her true shallowness of mind is revealed. For example, when she apologizes to Elizabeth that she “should be forced to have that disagreeable man all to herself”(page 253), it is evident that she still is not fond of Mr. Darcy. Yet only when Elizabeth brings up the notion that she is now engaged to him does Mrs. Bennet finally rejoice in the name of Mr. Darcy. However she does not once congratulate Elizabeth for finding love and being happy. She exclaims, “A house in town! Every thing that is charming! Three daughters married! Ten thousand a year! Oh, Lord! What will become of me”(page 255). First, she so quickly changes her thoughts on the character of Mr. Darcy that one might assume that she only thinks these in the first place because everyone else thought them. Second, as a mother who ought to be concerned with the content of her daughters, she does a very poor job. When the news is broken that Elizabeth is engaged, the immoral Mrs. Bennet only cares about what tangible goods she will receive and what new status she can brag
