Mr. Bennet is the patriarch of the Bennet family and the owner of Longbourn, at least until his death. His name is never mentioned in the novel, nor is his age but it's safe to say that he is older then his wife (as her youth is what attracted him to her) and is old enough to be married 23 years. He lives at Longbourn, located in Hertfordshire near the imaginary town of Meryton.

His education specifics are unknown, but he is fond of books and is known for his sarcastic wit.he has strongest relationship is with Elizabeth, as she is the most level-headed and observant of his daughters, and has a hard time letting her go when he agrees to agree to her marrage to Mr. Darcy.

Personality:Edit

Mr. Bennet is best known for his sarcastic wit, often sharpened on his family members (particularly his wife). He appears happiest when left alone and will typically chose the path of least resistance, without consideration of the consequences. While his love of independence has kept his family out of debt, he has not bothered to make any plans or provisions for them after his death, at first this was because he intended to have a son who would take responsibility for Mrs. Bennet and any other children and later this was due to habit.
