Is the cup half empty or half full?? O.o

According to Austen I think being an Elizabeth is better than being a Jane. The reason behind this logic is that Elizabeth is very similar to Austen. For example, neither Elizabeth nor Austen will not marry unless is for love . According to the notes Ms. Noonan provided, Austen was a very feminist character that did not want to marry just for the fact that there was no love and the man whom she loved did not have a good social status. Elizabeth   did the same, she would not marry Mr. Collins because she felt no love towards him even though it was an excellent business deal. Except that the man she loves (even if she wont admit it) has a higher social standard than Elizabeth has. Both Elizabeth and Austen faced the same problem in their lives.

    Being Elizabeth is that bad but then people are going to being to hate if your always negative about things and it'll be depressing to be around her and she'll be a friendless loser.

    ^^ But the thing is, Elizabeth isn't trying to be negative, she's being realistic. Sometimes she can be negative but the majority of times its realistic. And I agree with Kandy, I think that Austen wrote Jane the way she did to Compare the differences of Elizabeth's independency and feminist character And Jane's Extremely blind sighting Optimistic personality To show how being an elizabeth is better.

    I toltally agree. Lizzy does portrays Austen's life including Jane, who portrays Austen's sister. The fact that Lisa is pointing out is really important. Lizzy is kind of negative, but most of the times she's just realistic: for example when Ms. Bingley and all of them were talking about successful women, they all gave cheesy opinions, but Lizzy just went to the real deal.

    I agree its not so much of her being mean, its more so of her being realistic and not sugercoating it.
