Sidekick Saturday [9]

Sidekick Saturday is a weekly bookish meme, hosted here by Jaclyn at JC's Book Haven. There are many secondary characters that are as great as the primaries. In some cases, the sidekicks actually steal the show and you like them better than the heroine or hero. Maybe they didn't have enough page time for how great they were. Anyone can play along! Just do the following:

• Choose a sidekick *or someone other than the hero or heroine* that you would like to put in the spotlight that fits in this week's type
• Share a picture and information about the character
• Give the title and author of a book the character can be found in
• Please don't include too many spoilers when describing why the character is such a great sidekick
• Put your link in the Linky thing and comment

This week's sidekick type is - Classic:

My choice is Jane Bennett from Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austin

Jane is the eldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Bennett and is soft spoken and kind hearted. Elizabeth describes her as seeing the best in people...that people can do no wrong in her eyes. Her mother describes her as the most beautiful in the county. She is meant to marry Mr. Bingley. She obviously doesn't show interest in others very well and this works against her. I enjoy Jane's character greatly as you can tell that Elizabeth cares deeply for her and vice versa.

"Oh, Lizzy, if I could but see you happy. If there were such another man for you."

"One of these days, Lizzy, someone will catch your eye and then you'll have to watch your tongue."

"You know perfectly well that I do not believe that marriage should be driven by thoughts of money!"
