<Li> Caroline Bingley--the vainglorious, snobbish sister of Charles Bingley, with a dowry of £ 20,000 . Miss Bingley harbours designs upon Mr. Darcy, and therefore is jealous of his growing attachment to Elizabeth . She attempts to dissuade Mr. Darcy from liking Elizabeth by ridiculing the Bennet family and criticising Elizabeth's comportment . Miss Bingley also disapproves of her brother's esteem for Jane Bennet, and is disdainful of society in Meryton . Her wealth (she has a £ 20,000 dowry, giving her an income of £ 1,000 per annum, which she overspends) and her expensive education seem to be the two greatest sources of Caroline Bingley's vanity and conceit; likewise, she is very insecure about the fact that her and her family's money all comes from trade, and is eager both for her brother to purchase an estate, ascending the Bingleys to the ranks of the Gentry, and for herself to marry a landed gentleman (i.e. Mr. Darcy). The dynamic between Caroline Bingley and her sister, Louisa Hurst, seems to echo that of Lydia and Kitty Bennet's; that one is a no more than a follower of the other, with Caroline Bingley in the same position as Lydia, and Louisa Hurst in Kitty's (though, in Louisa's case, as she's already married, she's not under the same desperation as Caroline). Her sister, Louisa Hurst (née Bingley), is married to Mr. Hurst, who has a house in Grosvenor Square, London . </Li> <Li> George Wickham--Wickham has been acquainted with Mr. Darcy since infancy, being the son of Mr. Darcy's father's steward . An officer in the militia, he is superficially charming and rapidly forms an attachment with Elizabeth Bennet . He later runs off with Lydia with no intention of marriage, which would have resulted in her complete disgrace, but for Darcy's intervention to bribe Wickham to marry her by paying off his immediate debts . </Li> <Li> Mr. William Collins--Mr. Collins, aged 25 years old as the novel begins, is Mr. Bennet's distant second cousin, a clergyman, and the current heir presumptive to his estate of Longbourn House . He is an obsequious and pompous man who is excessively devoted to his patroness, Lady Catherine de Bourgh . </Li> <Li> Lady Catherine de Bourgh--the overbearing aunt of Mr. Darcy . Lady Catherine is the wealthy owner of Rosings Park, where she resides with her daughter Anne and is fawned upon by her rector, Mr. Collins . She is haughty, pompous, domineering, and condescending, and has long planned to marry off her sickly daughter to Darcy, to' unite their two great estates', claiming it to be the dearest wish of both her and her late sister, Lady Anne Darcy (née Fitzwilliam). </Li>
