15 Background Characters That Make Pride and Prejudice Amazing! (Essential P&P Deep Dive)

You’ve met Elizabeth Bennet and Mr. Darcy, but what about the 15 overlooked, essential supporting characters who quietly—and sometimes comically—shaped the course of Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice?

In this video, I shine a light on these so-called “subsidiary” figures. From the loafing Mr. Hurst to the ever-gracious Mrs. Reynolds, these characters may not take centre stage, but they’re absolutely crucial to the wit, drama, and emotional depth of the novel.
