How to Live and Love Like a Jane Austen Heroine

August 17, 2013

"There are few people whom I really love, and still fewer of whom I think well. The more I see of the world, the more am I dissatisfied with it, and every day confirms my belief of the inconsistency of all human characters, and of the little dependence that can be placed on the appearance of merit or sense."
— Elizabeth Bennet, Pride and Prejudice

A lot of these are taken a bit out of context - Miss Bingley is not meant to be an admirable, intelligent woman. Right after her quote about the books, she tosses it aside and sighs in boredom - she said that line to get a man's attention (unsuccessfully) ... reinforcing Elizabeth as a really unique and examplary woman. I do love Jane Austen so much though - hence why I'm on this page of course!
