Document Summary

Jane is prejudiced to think that everyone is good: lizzy begins with no prejudices. It is a big deal that elizabeth goes to netherfield to visit. She has gone to see her sister she is bonded to and loyal to her family, and this trumps gender norms and decency: lizzy has an opportunity to save her family from economic precarity. She could marry mr. collins (who will inherit longbourn when mr. bennet dies). He shows up to marry a daughter to provide a solution to this entail. This must be a strategy you must want to marry me. She goes back to her dad and makes him say that. Lizzy means no: mr. darcy lizzy turns darcy down for marriage, lizzy also says no to lady catherine. Tell me once and for all, are you engaged to him : lizzy outargues lady catherine she. Elizabeth"s intellect: lizzy trumps every high authority. She insists on doing things her own way.
