The narrator begins depicting both as being wealthy and very attractive, while then branching off to describe them in different ways. In the beginning of the second paragraph, Mr. Bingley is described as handsome, gentlemanlike, with a fine family who will be in attendance at the party. Mr. Darcy is then described as handsome, and noble while also being the richest of the two. However, the narrator then describes Mr. Darcy in a far more judgmental tone with more detail about how he is disliked and how everyone wishes for him not to be there. Although Mr. Darcy is dismissed in the beginning of the passage, the narrator then focuses on him in more detail than they did for Mr. Bingley, leading the readers to infer he will have a bigger role in the story than first realized, and will undergo a huge change in character.

The characters Mr. Bingley and Mr. Darcy are analyzed and objectified for their looks, wealth, and class. Austen uses tone shifts to separate the contrasting characters of Mr Darcy, a very wealthy prideful upper class man, and Mr. Bingley, a charismatic wealthy upper class man. She also includes differing focuses in 3rd person omniscient and scrutinizing details of their character to show their contradiction of persons and their perceived character.

WHAT WE WOULD CHANGE:
Add in a hook such as, In the regency period, women were expected to be seen and not heard. Women were typically seen more as property and prizes to be won. In Austen's except of pride and prejudice the roles of men and women are reversed, using satire and juxtaposition of character details

Jane Austen reflects these values in her novel Pride and Prejudice through the characters of Mrs. Bennet, Mr. Bingley, and Mr. Darcy. Through Austen's point of view and tone towards Bingley and Darcy, Austen portrays Bingley as "good looking and gentlemanly" while Darcy is "above being pleased" and snobby, while maintaining an air of mystery around him.

In contrast, Mr. Bingley was less attractive. However, Mr. Darcy turned out to be snobbish and rude where Mr. Bingley was very sociable.
