[Pride and Prejudice] - What is her true Color?

El Rancho

I am currently in a country club called El Rancho. For once, the sky is blue after constant days of raining, and there aren't many people in the club today. I see some people playing billiard a few meters away from my table - but I've gotta say they "suck." They look happy at least. People are staring at me while passing me by. Yeah I know, an Asian kid reading Pride and Prejudice in a beautiful Colombian country club - a little abnormal, I know. But I am used to it, so it's alright. So let's see...what next? As soon as I finish this bottle of coke, I am going to order another one to fuel myself to finish up this post. Then I am probably going to head into the sauna - wait, before going into the sauna, I am going to jog around a little. My right arm is a little sore from playing tennis which I haven't played since this summer.

Why am I saying this? I have no idea. That's just what I seem to be doing right now - HOMEWORK in a country club. Great way to spend a Sunday afternoon.

I am inspired by Billy Coomb's post. Therefore I want to make my own version of Pride and Prejudice's character analyze, but I am going to focus on Elizabeth only. I don't think I can describe her as accuratelely as Billy had done, but I am going to give a shot anyway.

Elizabeth - She may not be the prettiest, but surely the "smartest" (p.7). Elizabeth is the only person who can cope with any situations based on her logic, not relying on her emotion. However, I got an impression that she is very undecisive. I think it's her own intelligence that acts as a "hold up" when it comes to her decision making. During a conversation between Mr. Collins, she stalled a bit and requested him to "leave [me] to judge for myself [...] in making me the offer, you must have satisfied the delicacy of your feelings..." (p.82). What seemed like an undecisive personality to me was an attracting aspect for Mr. Collins, because he "attribute[s] [Elizabeth's rejection] to [her] wish of increasing love by suspense" (p.83) despite Elizabeth's "rejection" (p.83). What a werid relationship, I've gotta say.
