What do you think is the contribution of Mr. and Mrs.Bennet as parents to the development of their daughter's charactersDiscuss.?

Both Mr. Bennet and Mrs. Bennet neglected their children's education. Mrs. Bennet had some excuse for this, perhaps, because she was rather ignorant. Mr. Bennet, on the other hand, seemed to think it was unnecessary for women to be educated. This seems odd, because he prized the intelligence of Elizabeth and the rationality of Jane. Mrs. Bennet seemed to believe that the most important thing a woman could do was to find a good mate, good meaning financially sound. She did not understand the things people might want in a wife, however, and so guided her daughters by her own limited understanding. The result was that though her girls learned to dance and dress well, they did not have any education in literature, music, or art, other than what their own interests exposed them to. Mary, who was (at least in the book) the most accomplished, seemed interested in matters of Christian ethics, and philosophy, in addition to music, but this was probably a perverse reaction to her surroundings. Kitty was guided by Lydia, and Lydia was only interested in finding a man, without regard for how this was done, or even whether the match made any sense. Only Jane and Lizzy were reasonable people. Mr. Bennet acknowledged a failure to provide dowries for his daughters, but he also failed to provide moral guidance. This problem was exacerbated by his cynnical attitude toward his wife's bad manners and ignorance. He allowed her to have her way at times when there was no excuse for her behaviour, and the younger girls learned by this example. In short, one might wonder at the fact that Lizzy and Jane turned out so well. Perhaps this was because their early development happened at a time Mr. Bennet had not really started showing his disappointment in his life. Perhaps it was because despite their faults, the Bennets made their daughters important in their lives, and provided examples of people who, even if flawed in manners and judgment, were not selfish or immoral.

Why does Mrs. Bennet feel it's a good thing for her daughters that Mr. Bingley bought a home in the neighborhood in Pride and Prejudice?

Mrs. Bennet was hoping Mr. Bingley would marry one of her daughters. Mr. Bingley was a wealthy man. He made about four or five thousand pounds per year. This was about six to eight times as much money as most attorneys made at that time. Mr. Bennet was able to provide well for his wife and daughters on the two thousand pounds per year he made. The problem was that his estate was entailed, meaning that when he died, his wife and daughters would inherit nothing from it. What they would then have was what Mrs. Bennet had already inherited herself, about five thousand pounds, which would provide an income of two hundred pounds per year, at best. England at that time was in the Napoleonic Wars, which reduced the male population available for marriage by 25% to 40%. This meant that men with money, and even men without, could pick and choose among women, bypassing pretty and pleasant women without money and taking those who had wealth. Unless at least one of her daughters married well, there was the prospect that all of them would be dependent on relatives, or destitute. Mr. Bennet says at one point that he regrets not putting money aside for his daughters, so he could bribe young men to marry them. He has neglected them. Jane Austen often makes points without being explicit. She lets us know enough to be able to figure things out and lets us do so. One thing that could have been done by Mrs. Bennet for the benefit of her daughters would have been to see that they got good educations. This would not only make them more attractive in the eyes of some men, it would prepare them to be governesses if they could not marry. This, however, has not been done. Jane Austen has Lizzy say that their education was neglected, but she does not make the implications obvious.
