Pride and prejudice

James Morland

Catherine’s brother, James attends Oxford University during the school year, where he enjoys the pleasures of undergraduate life with his friend John Thorpe. James is studying to be a clergyman, although during the course of the novel we only see him in a domestic setting. When James accompanies John on a family vacation to Bath, he falls in love with John’s sister Isabella, and they become engaged. James eventually repents this affair when he discovers Isabella’s disloyalty, and he leaves Bath in a bitter mood.
