Character Analysis- Jane

Jane Bennet

Jane Bennet is a very sweet young woman who cares for everyone that she meets, as long as they have good manners.

Jane is the oldest of the Bennet sisters.  She is very kind and beautiful.  Everyone takes notice of her beauty.  “Jane united with great strength of feeling, a composure of temper and an uniform cheerfulness of manner, which would guard her from the suspicions of the impertinent” (22).  Jane is an optimistic person, and always gives a positive spin on negative situations.  She defends people, like Wickham, when others think very poorly of them.  The only way for someone to end up on her bad side is if she realizes their faults, like she did with Miss Bingley.  When Jane realizes Miss Bingley’s insincerity she does not look for a positive in her negative actions.  She does not make excuses for her, but when they become sister-in-laws Jane’s kindheartedness makes it so she accepts Miss Bingley again.  Jane is a good natured human being, and many other characters within the novel see that in her.  

Jane is a positive character and her feelings toward people stay the same like the needles on an evergreen tree.  There are times where her feelings toward others change, just as there are some needles of the tree fall off and become discolored.  For the most part Jane remains as a positive person, like an evergreen tree stays green all year round.  

Jane Bennet is comparable to Juliette Noonan, or really any of the Noonan girls, because they are very positive people, and try to see the best in people even if it is a bad situation.
