Is elizabeth bennet a conformist or nonconformist?

Answer 1

Nonconformist. She would have been a conformist if she married Mr Collins, who her mother would have loved as a son-in-law because he was to inherit their property. But instead, she refuses him and waits for someone whom she truly loves.

Answer 2

Elizabeth Bennet from Jane Austen's "Pride and Prejudice" can be considered a nonconformist to some extent. She challenges societal norms by prioritizing personal happiness and independence over societal expectations of marriage and wealth. However, she also exhibits conformist tendencies in her desire to maintain her family's social standing and reputation.
