in pride and prejudice, how does elizabeth bennet's character change throughout the entire novel?

Answer 1

Elizabeth's sharp tongue and tendency to make hasty judgments often lead her astray. Pride and Prejudice is essentially the story of how she, and her true love, Darcy, overcome all obstacles—including their own personal failings—to find romantic happiness. Elizabeth must not only cope with her difficult family, she must also overcome her own mistaken impressions of Darcy, which initially lead her to reject his proposals of marriage. Her charms are sufficient to keep him interested, while she navigates social turmoil and the troubles of her family. As she comes to recognize the goodness of Darcy’s character, she realizes the error of her initial prejudice against him.

Answer 2

She has certainly revised her opinion of Darcy, and in the process she has probably learned to be less judgmental. At the beginning she seems to have succumbed to Wickham's charm and therefore finds it easy to believe the things he tells her about Darcy, who has made a bad first impression on her. By the time she receives that letter from Jane during her trip, however, she is well on the way to falling in love with Darcy, whom she has come to see in a very different light, and the thought that Lydia's elopement with Wickham will probably put an end to anything between herself and Darcy is rather painful. Then when she realizes that he had something to do with getting Wickham to marry Lydia, her view of him improves even more, to the axten of apparenlty seing him as a knight in shining armor. It's rather like a seesaw--the more highly she thinks of Darcy, the less so she thinks of Wickham. And if she has any doubt about Darcy's feelings for her at this point, the fact that he's willing not only to have her mother as a mother-in-law but Wickham as a brother-in-law must convince her that he really loves her!

Answer 3

She learns to see herself and her family as others see them, and she learns that first impressions aren't always correct, as she was wrong about both Darcy and... Oh, shoot. That other guy that she totally had the hots for before he ran off with her sister. I can't remember his name now.

Answer 4

she becomes less prideful and more understanding of other peoples feelings. she is a round character, not flat...and she is a great example of a virtuous woman.
