What does Elizabeth Bennet value?

Asked by Wiki User

Elizabeth Bennet's personality strengths are many, with the the most important being that she is intelligent, honest and a wonderful conversationalist. Yet she does have weaknesses of personality also. She too often says what she feels when it might have been better to say nothing. However, the trait that almost kept her from happiness, was making assumptions without all the facts.

When was Elizabeth Bennett born in the book Pride and Prejudice?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Jane Austen, like many writers of the time, chose to be vague about the specific date in which the novel is set. So there is no way to really answer this. However, it is at some point between the Napoleonic wars, so Elizabeth must have been born a little before that. Keep in mind that she was age 20 at the start of the novel, this giving some clue.

Asked by Wiki User

The first lines are:

"It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife.

However little known the feelings or views of such a man may be on his first entering a neighbourhood, this truth is so well fixed in the minds of the surrounding families, that he is considered as the rightful property of some one or other of their daughters."

Compare and contrast Mr. Darcy and Mr. Bingley?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Mr. Bingley has a manner like Jane Bennet's, they are fond of everyone, see only the good in people, and are very pleasant characters. Mr. Bingley is quick to approve of everyone and everything he sees. He loves to dance and socialize with several people, and attends many balls. He's affable and comfortable around everyone. Mr. Darcy is more proud, he was taught good principles growing up, but was also taught to follow them in conceit and pride. He judges quickly and does not approve of many people. He'd rather stay at home than go to a ball, and rarely dances. He seems almost uncomfortable to be around, except for those few select people who know him well. Both Mr. Darcy and Mr. Bingley are close to each other however, even though they see the world from different views. Eventually Elizabeth Bennet roughly tells Mr. Darcy that he is too proud and conceited and is not a gentleman. He realizes what people think of him, and after explaining to Elizabeth in a letter of the situation he was in with Mr. Wickham, Mr. Darcy becomes a much more friendly character. Both Darcy and Bingley fall for the Bennet sisters, Elizabeth and Jane. At the end of the book, the Bingleys move close to the Darcys.

How did elizabeth bennet change from the beginning of Pride and Prejudice to the end?

Asked by Wiki User

Elizabeth Bennet grows quite a lot in the course of Pride and Prejudice.

At the beginning of the book, she enjoys being a studier of human folly. By the end, she realizes the extent of even her own folly.

She learns that first impressions are not always accurate, and should not prejudice a person against or for others.

She learns to understand people marrying for reasons other than love, however distasteful that may be to her.

This is a list others may wish to add to.

How does darcy's letter change our understanding of Wickham?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Mr. Darcy explained to Elizabeth his reasons for denying Mr. Wickham the living which was willed to him by his (Mr. Darcy) late father. His father believed Mr. Wickham wanted to go into the church and willed him the rectory along with one thousand pounds. He also stated that if he chose a different profession that the current Mr. Darcy should do everything in his power to advance him in that position as well as to provide to him a valuable living. After a while, Mr. Wickham stated that he was absolutely certain of his not wanting to go into the church (rather that the law was a profession better suited to himself) and thought it was reasonable of him to demand the sum of the living which he was to receive, which Mr. Darcy promptly gave him. Mr. Wickham then cut off all communication with Mr. Darcy until three years later after he had spent all his money living idly in London. He then wrote to Mr. Darcy asking for the living he had been willed as it was now his inclination to join the church, but Mr. Darcy denied his request several times. Once again Mr. Wickham cut off all communication. During that time, he went to Ramsgate (where Miss Darcy, Mr. Darcy's sister was living) and convinced her that she was so in love with him that she very nearly eloped with him. It was only by the surprise visit of Mr. Darcy that the elopement was called off. He believed Mr. Wickham wanted to marry Miss Darcy for her inheritance of thirty thousand pounds. Mr. Darcy then added that his cousin Colonel Fitzwilliam would corroborate his story as he was there for all of it and that he did not know what falsehoods Mr. Wickham had told Elizabeth.
