"'They have none of them...they are all silly and ignorant like other girls...quickness than her sisters'" (7).
Jane Austen included this line of "they are silly and ignorant like other girls" for a specific purpose. She realizes that girls, before they are put out into reality are naive and too trusting for their own good. From speaking straightforward like this, it is apparent that this realization has the possibility of coming out of her own experiences in life. Austen and her character, Jane portray the same storylines and the similarity can only mean that Jane Austen made them similar on purpose. Austen also created the character of Elizabeth. Elizabeth is an exceptional character, but can be viewed as someone Jane Austen wishes she were more like. She is forward and never too trusting, the opposite of Jane Austen's character of Jane.
