I would love to sit down to dinner with Elizabeth Bennett. I’ve written about her before and I love her character. Last year, someone told me that I reminded him of her in many ways. I took it as a compliment but I think he didn’t mean it as such. He thought I was way too complicated! We’re not seeing each other anymore.
Who is this character? She is the protagonist in Jane Austen’s Pride & Prejudice. The lady is intelligent, knows what she wants, and witty to boot. She is also fiercely independent. At a time when marriage was based on gaining financial security, she chose to settle for love. Her journey with Mr. Darcy was wrought with complexities but she wants what she wants. She is judgmental and has a mind of her own which is rare back in those days.
Her nicknames are Lizzy and Eliza but don’t let that sweetness fool you. She is strong-willed and perhaps as stubborn as a mule but her character is also lovable although filled with flaws.
Sitting down to dinner with her would be a dream come true. I have always admired and adored her and imagine all the stories we can tell and share!
