He is a gambler and a liar but his charming looks win the girls over while they look past his flaws. Mr.Wickham is attracted to Jane Bennet ,the eldest sister, of the Bennet family but Mr. Darcy convinces him otherwise. With Mr.Darcy convincing him otherwise instead of Mr.Wickham being attracted to the oldest sister he is now attracted to the youngest sister Lydia Bennet. Mr.Wickham manners are there simply “to be a gentleman, then he is inherently counterfeit”(Matthew 7-8). His gentleman like qualities are only there to hide his true colors. Mr.Wickham has no self-control. He is constantly gambling when he knows he is already in debt and just keeps digging himself in a hole. Mr.Wickham is gifted by these gentleman like qualities to make friends but may not have the ability to keep them “equally capable of retaining them, is less certain"(Austen 89). His friendliness might attract others for friendship or love but his wicked inner qualities will run them off. Mr.Wickham likes some of Mr.Darcy’s pride by declaring that:
