[edit] Quotes
On his character, Mr. Bingley, in Pride & Prejudice:
- "Socially, he is not as sure footed as Darcy. He comes from a family that only made its money one or two generations before so they have a more delicate social position. His sister is very aggressive because she feels threatened by her roots."
- "I was trying to find out what a man of Mr. Bingley's means and age would do with his time, whether he'd work or have a job or anything and they really didn't. They went for walks and played cards in the afternoon... it was a weird period when men didn't really have an estate so he really just had a big fat income and wandered round with it in his pocket. Basically, his aim is to get married and, once married, to buy an estate and become a proper landed gentleman."
