(The part of this clip I will be focusing on is in the time frame of 3:28-7:00)
Elizabeth Bennette is a very independent woman who does not feel the need to act how people think she should act. She knows herself well and knows what she wants and feels no need to act or pretend otherwise. The part of this clip that I am focusing on shows Elizabeth talking about her sister to a friend of hers. She cannot help but laugh at her friend when her friend talks about all the things Elizabeth's sister should do to secure her man. Elizabeth is the kind of woman who believes in love and in being yourself and if someone cannot or does not love you for who you are then they are not worth it. She is not like most of the women who would settle for any man who showed interest in them. Elizabeth does not believe in settling for anything less than love and a true companion. She does not fall for Mr. Darcy right away, nor does she accept his offer to dance. In the movie she is also willing to walk around outside and get a little muddy, which most of the women in that time period, would never do that. She turns down a marriage proposal when any other woman would have accepted it and she does not care about what others think of her as long as she knows what she likes and who she is. She is an individual, which makes her admirable and hopefully someone to strive to be like.
