Jane Austen’s classic was definitely not a stereotypical love story. Lizzie Bennet had the self-respect to refuse Mr. Darcy’s proposal because he had hurt her pride. She was clearly not materialistic because she rejected Mr. Collins, too. And her love for her family was endearing.
Elizabeth Bennet carried herself with grace and respect. Her independent spirit, romantic nature, and her desire to marry for love sets the ideals for many readers who love the classic.
