Elizabeth- Elizabeth Bennett is introduced as the second
daughter of the Bennett family. Her family members usually recognize her as
Lizzy. Elizabeth would have to be the most intelligent, confident and classy
out of her other sisters. This character meets a young man named Darcy whom she
loves basically throughout the whole book. Yet, she doesn’t tell him how she
feels. Darcy doesn’t necessarily like her in the beginning but in the end he
falls head over heels for her. Elizabeth has a unique personality and the way
she was involved in Pride and Prejudice made me read even more.
“You
never will be able to make both of them good for anything. Take your choice,
but you must be satisfied with only one. There is but such a quantity of merit
between them; just enough to make one good sort of man; and of late it has been
shifting about pretty much. For my part, I am inclined to believe it all Mr.
Darcy's, but you shall do
as you choose.''
``You
are quite right. To have his errors made public might ruin him for ever. He is
now perhaps sorry for what he has done, and anxious to re-establish a
character. We must not make him desperate.''
``When I
said that he improved on acquaintance, I did not mean that either his mind or
manners were in a state of improvement, but that from knowing him better, his
disposition was better understood.''
Lydia –
Lydia Bennett is one of the younger sisters of the Bennett family. She has a
confident and outgoing personality. Lydia falls for one man who goes by the
name of Mr. Wickham. Lydia decides to elope with this guy and not have the
family involved. The family definitely does not approve of him. Lydia Bennett
likes to do things her way and I guess that’s what makes her character
interesting
``I am sure I shall break mine,''.
``Good Heaven! What is to become of us! What are we to do!'' would they often exclaim in the bitterness of woe. ``How can you be smiling so, Lizzy?”
“Though I am not her particular friend. I have just as much right to be asked as she has”
Wickham- Mr. Wickham belongs to a wealthy family. Wickham falls for Elizabeth at first but then moves onto her sister Lydia. Wickham does not have great history with Mr. Darcy. Both of them continue to hold grudges against each other. That shows how much they both have gone through since none of them are willing to talk to one another. Wickham has an interesting twist to his personality. I find it so mysterious
``You, who so well know my feelings towards Mr. Darcy, will readily comprehend how sincerely I must rejoice that he is wise enough to assume even the appearance of what is right. His pride, in that direction, may be of service, if not to himself, to many others, for it must deter him from such foul misconduct as I have suffered by
“But you blame me for having spoken so warmly of Wickham”
``How unfortunate that you should have used such very strong expressions in speaking of Wickham to Mr. Darcy, for now they do appear wholly undeserved.''
Writing in Role
Dear Diary
I can’t believe what my sister is doing. Running away and
planning to get married with Wickham? That’s really funny. I know Wickham is
wealthy and all that but he’s not that great. Plus, I don’t want to ruin our family’s
reputation. Darcy even told me that he had a really bad past with him and it
doesn’t sound so great. He even left me for my sister. Just watch, one day he’ll
eventually leave my sister like he did to me. My sister needs a man who will be
there for her and won’t ditch. I really want the best for my sister. I love her
and I think she deserves better. Wickham will probably end up hurting her
feelings. I hope she doesn’t fall too hard for him too fast.
Sincerely,
Elizabeth Bennett
