11、rrying couple and society. Elizabeth was a clever and smart girl, although she was not the most beautiful one. She was also an independent girl and always had an individual opinion, because Elizabeth was an educated girl, although she learned by herself. So education is very important to women. I th

12、ink Elizabeth has personality ethic which caused her independent idea about love and marriage and in consequence she earned a happy life. Darcy was handsome man and he seemed very noble. He was very wealthy, but he was very proud and rude in other peoples eyes. Because of the education he had in his

13、 childhood, he first ignored Elizabeths merits because of the social position shewas in and the relatives she had. But later, he realized Elizabeths smart and beauty and proposed to her.

18、value that made her get the final happiness and curbed Darcys arrogant as well. They thus established an equal relation based on mutual understanding and respect. So their marriage was the most harmonious one in the novel. Jane was the oldest in Bennet s family. She was the most beautiful one among

19、her sisters. But she was shy and lack of self confidence. So she was afraid to speak out that she loved. Bingley was also very wealthy , but he was more approachable than Darcy.
