In Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice, how does Netherfield reflect the natures and values of the owners, particularly its physical description and...

We actually do not learn a whole lot about the physical
description of Netherfield. We know from Mrs. Bennet's enthusiasm that it is a large estate,
though not as large, or as grand as Pemberley. Also, we know that it has a "breakfast-parlour"
because Elizabeth is shown into the "breakfast-parlour" when she first arrives at Netherfield to
see her sick sister. We also know that it has a formal dining room, or "dining-parlour," because
as was expected of that class of society, the whole household dressed formally for dinner. We
also know that it has a ballroom because Bingley held a ball at Netherfield. We also know that,
as expected for a large manor, the rooms are very large. We see this when at one point Miss
Bingley invites Elizabeth to "take a turn about the room" (Ch. 11, Vol. 1). The number of rooms
and the size of the rooms of course show that Bingley and his party are wealthy, upper-class, who
value their wealth and their social status.

We also know from Bingley and his
party's activities that they are gentlemen and gentlewomen of leisure who do not need to work for
their income. They fill their time with strolling in the garden and entertaining each other with
playing cards, music, and singing. These activities alone do not say much about the nature of
Bingley and his party because these are things that all the leisurely upper-class did to
entertain themselves.

However, we do see Bingley ordering his housekeeper, Mrs.
Jones, to do everything she could to look after Jane. He also frequently had his servants call
for the doctor to tend to Jane. These activities show that Bingley has a very kind and caring
nature.

One thing we see Bingley's sisters do is gossip and make rude remarks
about Elizabeth and her family. These activities show that, typical of the upper-class, the
Bingley sisters were very arrogant and conceited.
