Pride and Predjudice: Elizabeth ( Lizzy) Bennet
Elizabeth Bennet is one of the characters who changes though out the novel. Elizabeth Bennet starts out as a head strong prejudice girl out to judge people. Elizabeth judges her family, her friends and the people around her. Elizabeth judges the decision of one of her closes friends in the book, Charlotte Lucas. Charlotte marries Mr. Collins (the dreaded cousin) after he just proposed to Elizabeth. What Elizabeth does not under stand is the fact that not everyone is secure enough to let fate guide them when they want to fall in love. The times revolved around getting married, and for women this was often the only choice. I believe that Elizabeth judged her friend severely and realizes this later in the story. She then tries to make up for this by visiting her friend. This shows a change in her because while she is at Charlotte's new home she does not make her usual comments towards her friend's husband. Elizabeth judges her family as well. Elizabeth judges the way her mother handles things. If you have read the book Mrs. Bennet is not the most in depth character, but if you look deeply you can tell she has her daughter's best interests at heart. Elizabeth often treats her mother with sarcasm and laughs at her. Elizabeth acts as if she is better than her mother. It is trues that her mother is quite frivolousness but as we know she is trying to get her daughters a life far superior to her own. Her mother really and truly cares about her daughters. I believe that Elizabeth truly starts to change towards her mother because when Lydia leaves Elizabeth sees how much her mother will miss her daughter. She sees this and starts to comfort and show more love towards her mother. Elizabeth also judges Mr.Darcy. She sees him as proud and unkind. He has done things that she does not like but instead of really discovering the truth she lets her hatred fester. Elizabeth does not like Mr. Darcy because of the fact that he separated Elizabeth's sister Jane and Mr. Bingley. She also dislikes Mr. Darcy because of the way he treats her officer friend Mr. Wickham. She later finds out that Mr. Darcy was only looking out for his fiend in the case of her sister and Mr. Wickham is truly a nasty man. She sees that he does have good in him after this , as he patches up things between Jane and Mr. Bingley. Also he finds Lydia and pays for her wedding and Wickham's commission. She judged Mr. Darcy most of all. This causes her to change because she realizes how wrong she was and treats him with respect. Overall, Elizabeth Bennet changed from a prejudice and proud girl to a more caring and open woman.
