Answer 1

"Bingley was sure of being liked wherever he appeared, but Darcy was continually giving offence." Volume 1, Chapter 4

"Mr. Bingley was good-looking and gentlemanlike; he had a pleasant countenance, and easy, unaffected manners. " Volume I, Chapter 3

"Mr. Bingley had soon made himself acquainted with all the principal people in the room; he was lively and unreserved, danced every dance, was angry that the ball closed so early, and talked of giving one himself at Netherfield." Volume I, Chapter 3

"When Jane and Elizabeth were alone, the former, who had been cautious in her praise of Mr. Bingley before, expressed to her sister just how very much she admired him.
"He is just what a young man ought to be," said she, "sensible, good-humoured, lively; and I never saw such happy manners!-- so much ease, with such perfect good breeding!"
"He is also handsome," replied Elizabeth, "which a young man ought likewise to be, if he possibly can. His character is thereby complete." Volume 1, chapter 4

Mr Bingley Pride And Prejudice

Answer 3

Hey those girls above me sound like they know what they are talking about! I read this in tenth grade HP English but I couldn't tell you a specific quote. If you go into google, type in "quotes about Mr. Bingley-Pride and Prejudice" and you should get some results!

Answer 4

Mr. Bingley was trusting of his friends. He put a lot of faith in Mr. Darcy's statement that it seemed that "jane did not love bingley". Mr bingly also knows humility. he started out by telling jane that he had been an "inconsiderate ***" (talking about the donkey people.) and gave no excuse as to why he doubted her love. I hope this helps. Use Sparknotes. It helps a ton with the characters.

Answer 5

I can't remember the book anymore but in the movie Mr. Darby goes on about Bingley's nature when she confronts him for taking Bingley away and stopping his relationship with her sister. He said Bingley was shy and didn't have the ability to tell that her sister did not like him as much as he liked her. That's two big ones. It seems to me in the book, when Bingley is getting to know the sister and Darby with the other sister (can't remember names), they take a lot of long walks and I think they discuss Bingley's temperment.

"Come, Darcy," said he, "I must have you dance. I hate to see you standing about by yourself in this stupid manner. You had much better dance."


- a telling quote on Mr. Bingley because it says that he doesn't care about class differences (like Darcy does) isn't snobbish, is friendly, and likes to enjoy himself.

Here is Darcy's response:

"I certainly shall not. You know how I detest it, unless I am particularly acquainted with my partner. At such an assembly as this it would be insupportable. Your sisters are engaged, and there is not another woman in the room whom it would not be a punishment to me to stand up with."

Mr. Bingley response:

"I would not be so fastidious as you are," cried Mr. Bingley, "for a kingdom! Upon my honour, I never met with so many pleasant girls in my life as I have this evening; and there are several of them you see uncommonly pretty."
