Introduction to Elizabeth Bennet
Scene Summary and Context Guide: Elizabeth Bennet is the intelligent and witty second daughter in Jane Austen's Pride & Prejudice. She is known for her keen observations and lively personality, often challenging societal norms. At the beginning of the novel, Elizabeth displays strong opinions about marriage and social class, which evolve as she encounters various characters, especially Mr. Darcy. Her initial prejudice and later understanding reflect her complex character. Austen uses dialogue and free indirect speech to give insight into Elizabeth’s thoughts and feelings. For example, her remark, 'I certainly shall not go to Rosings,' reveals her spirited independence. The novel presents Elizabeth as a symbol of individualism within the constraints of her time, showcasing how her judgments are formed through her interactions and internal reflections. Austen employs irony and vivid characterization to highlight Elizabeth’s wit and moral integrity, making her a central figure of the story's themes of pride, prejudice, and personal growth.
