<Li> Charlotte Lucas--Charlotte is Elizabeth's friend who, at 27 years old (and thus very much beyond what was then considered prime marriageable age), fears becoming a burden to her family and therefore agrees to marry Mr. Collins to gain financial security . Though the novel stresses the importance of love and understanding in marriage, Austen never seems to condemn Charlotte's decision to marry for money . She uses Charlotte to convey how women of her time would adhere to society's expectation for women to marry even if it is not out of love, but convenience . Charlotte is the daughter of Sir William Lucas and Lady Lucas, neighbours of the Bennet family . </Li> <Li> Colonel Fitzwilliam--Colonel Fitzwilliam is the younger son of an earl, and the nephew of Lady Catherine de Bourgh and Lady Anne Darcy; this makes him the cousin of Anne de Bourgh and the Darcy siblings, Fitzwilliam and Georgiana . He is about 30 years old at the beginning of the novel . He is the co-guardian of Miss Georgiana Darcy, along with his cousin, Mr. Darcy . </Li> <P> Many critics take the novel's title as a starting point when analysing the major themes of Pride and Prejudice; however, Robert Fox cautions against reading too much into the title because commercial factors may have played a role in its selection . "After the success of Sense and Sensibility, nothing would have seemed more natural than to bring out another novel of the same author using again the formula of antithesis and alliteration for the title . It should be pointed out that the qualities of the title are not exclusively assigned to one or the other of the protagonists; both Elizabeth and Darcy display pride and prejudice ." Although the phrase "pride and prejudice" had been used over the preceding two centuries by Joseph Hall, Jeremy Taylor, Joseph Addison and Samuel Johnson, Austen probably took her title from a passage in Fanny Burney's Cecilia (1782), a popular novel she is known to have admired: </P> <P> The whole of this unfortunate business," said Dr Lyster, "has been the result of PRIDE and PREJUDICE...Yet this, however, remember: if to PRIDE and PREJUDICE you owe your miseries, so wonderfully is good and evil balanced, that to PRIDE and PREJUDICE you will also owe their termination...(capitalisation as in the original .) </P>
