Sir Walter Elliot

"Vanity was the beginning and the end of Sir Walter Elliot's character; vanity of person and of situation." - Throughout all of this novel Sir Elliot is too hung up on what he doesn't have and that he comes from a distinguished family, to see what harm he is causing the family. He is that one that uproots everyone, sending them to Bath, because of his gambling debts. Sir Walter cares for no one that was not born with good looks and into money. It is sad because when he looks in the mirror everyday, which is quite a bit, he does not see what kind of a vain man he has become since his wife died.
