Jane Austen has created a fun introduction to the character of Mrs. Bennet in chapter one. Mrs. Bennet is possibly the most popular of her silly mother figures. The discussion of her "nerves," as she calls them, prepares us for her many fits, which will take place throughout the novel.
What a delightful character she is! Creating drama in order to get attention and alleviate boredom. Have any of you encountered a Mrs. Bennet type person at some point in your life?
