    Elizabeth Bennet is a perfect example of such a woman that has a strong independent nature, and stands for the right for women to marry for love rather than for status or wealth. This being said, her personality gives her the potential for extraordinary happiness because she won’t settle for being unhappy. Elizabeth Bennet is intelligent, the most intelligent of her sisters. Her intelligence is actually part of what makes her Mr. Bennet’s favorite, but Mrs. Bennet’s least favorite; there is already paradox. Mrs. Bennet seems to ignore Elizabeth’s intelligence and states that she is no better than the rest of her sisters. The readers also get a different sense of her intelligence not only by her dialogue, but also by her observation skills. She enjoys watching people’s behaviors to decipher their personalities, for example when she states, “intricate characters are the most amusing” (chap.9)…

The youngest, Lydia, mostly takes after Mrs Bennet; the eldest, Jane, is kind-hearted and proper; and the central character, Elizabeth Bennet, is the second-eldest and she mostly takes after her father, sharing his keen wit and occasionally sarcastic outlook.…

    Elizabeth Bennet is the most intriguing character that Jane Austen writes about to me. She covers every aspect of what it means to be a great main character of a novel/movie. Her charm and beauty are obviously the main things that draw you in at the beginning of Pride and Prejudice but as the novel goes on we find out she’s quit intelligent, cares about her family especially her sisters (more so then her own mother in some cases), and doesn’t want to marry a man for finical reasons, but rather for love and happiness.…
