Mr. Darcy in my view
He's incredibly wealthy, and very conscious of his status in life. Some might go as far as to call him arrogant.
He knows the family are far below him socially, and believes a match with any of the girls would be disastrous, whether for himself, or for his friend Bingley.
She's bright, witty and very strong-minded.
She's a free-spirit but, unlike her sister Lydia, she has a strong sense of what's right and wrong in the eyes of society, and would not do anything to bring shame on her family.
Lizzie in my eyes
She has five daughters in all and is determined to ensure they marry well.
She's loud and opinionated, pletely oblivious to the embarrassment she causes the rest of her family.
Mrs. in my eyes
