Lady Catherine de Bourgh is the aunt of Mr. Fitzwilliam Darcy. She is the owner of Rosings Park, and is the arch-nemesis of Eliza Bennet. We first meet her when Elizabeth comes to visit Mr. and Mrs. Collins, neighbors to Lady Catherine and her daughter. During the visit, she invites Lizzie and family to dine often, but makes it unpleasant, because of her condescending attitude towards everything and everyone in life. For example, she frequently gives the worst food possible to the poor, and keeps the richest meat for herself.
