Lady Catherine De Bourgh
Darcy’s aunt and a noblewoman who believes that her upper-class status deems her an absolute authority on almost any matter, no matter how mundane or trivially simple. Her actions are always motivated by her pride and she constantly tries to rip Darcy from Elizabeth, offended by the concept of marriage between classes.
