Mary

• ‘They found Mary, as usual, deep in the study of thorough bass and human nature.’

  She is alone, outside of Kitty and Lydia‘s closeness - also Lizzy and Jane’s sorority. Shows she‘s overlooked.
• ‘And the younger sisters not worth talking to.’

  They see them as foolish and silly, or in Mary’s case - plain.
• ’… is a very common failing I believe… Vanity and Pride are different things.’

  Shows she is insightful and her desire to say something ‘sensible.’
• ‘Mary, who having, inn consequence of being the only plain one in the family, worked hard for knowledge and accomplishments, was always impatient for display.’


  Mary is considered the only plain one - feels left out and isolated
