Elizabeth Bennett

I personally believe that Elizabeth Bennett has serious emotonal problems. I hope that she learns from her mistakes and turns into a better person. She HORRIFIES me. Pride and Prejudice should have left her out. The book would have been MUCH better.

I believe you have read the wrong book.

Elizabeth Bennet is one of the most charming characters in all literature: witty, at ease, confident, responsive, respectful, articulate, caring, and responsible.

That's all.

I have to agree with Joey, it is clear that you have not read this book!  Jane Austins Elizabeth "lizzy" is one of literatures most endearing characters!

I greatly agree with you both.Elizabeth
is so reasonable,logical,realistic and
experienced unlike her sister Jane.
Her only fault is her prejudice against
Darcy which makes her misjudges him.

Hi,

I have a question. In chapter 7, Jane goes to Bingley's house on horseback, because the the horses were engaged in the farm, and she couldn't avail the carriage.

Later, Elizabeth walks there to meet her "as she was no horsewoman, walking was her only alternative." This means, at this point, there was at least one horse for her to avail. Therefore, when Jane had gone, there were at least two of them. Why could she not avail the carriage?

Am I missing something?

Thanks,
Suman.
