Yes, Elizabeth was unusual for her time. But considering Austen wrote about the era she lived in then clearly some women were, including herself. Austen's sense of the ridiculous and her poking fun at society is wonderful.

What about Eliz? Was she a little beyond her times in personality?? Was she really TOO happy and ready to laugh for her time?

I'm reading RITA books (have 3 to go) so haven't participated here at all. It's been some time since I've read P&P, but I recall him as being haughty and very condescending at first. It was partly the times, I suppose, but also his nature.

Amen. :) And speaking of pride, in Emma, also by Austen, Emma is quite aware of hers and everyone elses station in life until she is humbled.

Cheryel, I had to read many passages a few times, b/c I'm not used to the type of language and stuff, so it's not just you!! LOL

I like that he becomes besotted with Eliz and is humbled. Oh, what a good woman (like one of us) can do for a man!! dw
