P& P #7 3/27: 6-10

Quote- "There is a stubbornness about me that never can bear to be frightened at the will of others. My courage always rises with every attempt to intimidate me" (Austen 166).

Explanation- This quote clearly defines Elizabeth's character very well. She can speak her mind openly while showing great reverence to others around her. When Elizabeth and company had met with Lady Catherine, everyone around Elizabeth felt overwhelmed by the mere atmosphere of the room. Though everyone was in a shocked state, Elizabeth felt equal to her surroundings. She upheld great composure and courage while speaking to the Lady. Unlike the rest of the company who completely lacked the will to overcome any obstacle, which is so present in Elizabeth. With this courage, Elizabeth can make good first impressions without a hint of doubt in her mind. That is her strength.
