Elizabeth Bennet's first distinctive quality is her
self-pride. She is a woman well-aware that she does not come from the best of all
families, accepts the fact that her sister Lydia is silly and lose, and admits to her
own mother's obnoxious behavior. Yet, she keeps her head high and accepts the flaws of
others the way she accepts her own.
She can also be
described as courageous. This is part of her self-pride. She does not let anyone push
her around, and she was very strong when she confronts Lady Catherine, Miss Bingley, and
Mr. Darcy. She speaks her mind and says what she has to
say.
This means that she is also outspoken. However, she
also encourages Darcy to speak just so she can have a meaningful conversation with him.
It is her outspoken nature that both gets her in trouble and garners her praise, for
when she speaks her mind, Darcy is able to understood
her.
Lastly, Elizabeth is caring and loyal. She is caring
because she is careful not to cause her father undue pain and in that way that she
worries about the way her younger sister Lydia has caused to suffer. Elizabeth does her
best at not complicating life for anyone. Finally, she is loyal because she places the
happiness of Jane, her sister, even above her own. She thrives on Jane's success with
Bingley and seems more interested in Jane's well-being more than her own chances at
marriage.
