Mr. James Rushworth
Mr. James Rushworth is a wealthy young man who is the heir to the Sotherton Estate. He is a very eligible bachelor and is engaged to Maria Bertram, the eldest daughter of Sir Thomas Bertram. However, Rushworth is not very bright and is often ridiculed by the other characters in the novel. He is also quite pompous and self-important, which makes him even more of a target for teasing. Despite his flaws, Rushworth is a kind and generous man who is well-intentioned. He is simply not very intelligent or sophisticated, which makes him a bit of a laughingstock.
