-Elizabeth is the second daughter in the Bennet family and is the protagonist of Pride and Prejudice.
-The reader is positioned to admire Elizabeth for her admiring qualities, intelligence and quick wit.
-Although,her sharp tongue and tendency to make hasty judgments often lead her astray
-Living in a strict society which is full of ties and rules, Eizabeth expresses a great strength in character in fighting against these conventions as well as looking for happiness for herself.
-She does and says whatever she believes it to be right without paying attention to the external forces.
-She realises the conventions and pressures of society on a young womans finding a husband.
-She rejects Mr Collins because he is personally unsuitable
-She does possess a degree of impertinence, but the "mixture of sweetness and archness in her manner" makes it difficult for her to offend people.
-Elizabeth is her father's favourite, and is described by him by having "something more of quickness than her sisters"; though she is often distressed and embarrassed by the behaviour of her mother and of her younger sisters.
-In spite of her mistake in misjudging Wickham and Darcy, and her more blamable fault of sticking stubbornly to that judgment until forced to see her error, Elizabeth is usually right about people. For example, she painfully recognizes the inappropriate behavior of most of her family, and she quickly identifies Mr. Collins as a fool and Lady Catherine as a tyrant.
-Judges Darcy as he judges her
