Person
Jane Bennet
Also known as Jane.
The eldest Bennet daughter and the great beauty of the family, gentle, even-tempered, and unwilling to think ill of anyone. Where Elizabeth judges, Jane forgives. Her serenity hides feeling rather than the lack of it.
Chapter III
Mr. Bingley singles her out at the assembly, and a quiet attachment begins on both sides.
Chapter XI
Her quiet pleasure in Mr. Bingley's company grows during her illness at Netherfield, though she is too guarded to let anyone see how much she feels.
Chapter XXI
Bingley leaves Netherfield for London, and his sister's letter makes plain he is not expected back. Jane bears the disappointment without complaint.
Chapter XXVI
She goes to stay with the Gardiners in London and calls on Miss Bingley, whose cold and tardy return of the visit forces her, slowly, to give up the friendship.
Chapter XXXVI
Settled with the Gardiners in London, she waits out the winter without a sign from Mr. Bingley and quietly resolves to think no more of him.
Chapter XLVI
Chapter LV
Bingley returns and asks for her at last. She is, in her own quiet way, perfectly happy.
