Elizabeth Bennet, the main character in Pride and Prejudice, has been characterised as a sensible, yet stubborn, young woman.
Elizabeth was very unique, her own individual and not like many woman of her time. She was the second of five daughters in the Bennet family and the most intelligent and witty. She was a determined and independent woman, who was also lively, playful and full of joy. She loved taking long walks and being out in the open air.
Elizabeth was often put in challenging situations and rarely let events bring her down. She always tried to help others in the best way she possibly could.
She was a true romantic and believed in true love. She didnt go out specially to find love: she let it come to her. She felt that if you truly love someone it does not matter about their status, money or possessions. She believed that if it is meant to be then it will be.
Her weaknesses were her sharp tongue and tendency to jump to conclusions, which sometimes led her astray and resulted in her making poor judgements. When Elizabeth made a mistake she was capable of admitting wrongdoing. At the beginning of the novel she had a very strong prejudice against Mr Darcy but once she realised of her misinterpretation she admitted it straight away.
As can clearly be seen, Elizabeth Bennet was a kind, gentle and loving young lady; however, she wasnt afraid to voice her opinion or stand up for what she believed in.
