Why else would she be the main character? She made her the strong, prideful, and beautiful woman that everyone wants to be. Yes, Jane is beautiful and nice but not everyone wants to be nice to everyone and just live with what is given to you. Elizabeth is the character that Jane Austen made that is proud of herself (for the most part) and has flaws that are almost attractive. They are obviously attractive to Mr. Darcy, since he cant stay off of her. Point is, Elizabeth is someone we wish we could be. Someone that has a strong character and can stand up for herself. Yes, she is going through tough times in the book currently. BUT, she seems to heading into a good direction. Elizabeth is the team i'm going for.
I agree Austen does thinks that being Elizabeth is better.
ReplyDeleteAusten does try to support her opinion about being an Elizabeth but what is so good of being an Elizabeth if people are just going to try to avoid you like some of the characters do in the book its not obvious but it's there. Some characters just try to avoid Elizabeth and her negativity.
ReplyDeleteYep I guess it is better to be an Elizabeth rather than a Jane. I wouldn't want to be a Jane either way I consider myself the type of person that cannot shut her mouth. If I do not like something expect me to tell you. I would be someone I am not if I were her and Elizabeth might be a hard head but now she has proven to us that she can admit to her faults and is able to forgive like she has forgiven Darcy.
