The eldest Bennet sister, Jane, is kind, tenderhearted, and beautiful. Intelligent, though less intellectual than Elizabeth, she possesses none of the skepticism, criticism, or cynicism of her younger sister. Jane is by no means foolish, but she tends to see the world through more rose-colored glasses. She constantly prompts Elizabeth to see the good in people, challenging her quick judgements and encouraging her to look beneath the surface. At times, Jane’s goodness leads to a refusal to acknowledge the faults of others or believe their ill intent.
Frequently described by her mother as the most beautiful of her daughters, Jane quickly catches the eye of Charles Bingley, earning his affection and the initial good opinion of his sister Caroline Bingley. However, because she views the Bennet family as inferior to her own, Miss Bingley takes conniving action to discourage the match. Though Jane endures an immense amount of suffering after Charles Bingley leaves, she bears it nobly. Jane is the definition of patience and sweet temperedness, as she determines to heal with grace. Through all of it, she refuses to speak ill of Bingley or his sister. There is no trace of pride or prejudice in her, and her goodness is a source of great love and admiration for Elizabeth, who is her constant defender and advocate. Due to the kindness of Mr. Darcy, Jane eventually gets her happy ending with Charles, the two joining together in wedded bliss.
