"'I have said no such thing...so wholly unconnected with me'" (332).
In this scene, Jane Austen has Elizabeth Bennet standing up to what she knows is right for herself. Back in the day, Jane Austen may not have voiced her desires and needs, but through Elizabeth Bennet, Jane Austen is portraying her own views on life. She is a stronger woman now and knows that the most important things in life are worth working for and worth waiting for. Elizabeth is everything that Jane Austen was not during the time in her life that she was in love. Elizabeth is standing up for herself, finding the truth, and then finding herself falling in love with the one man she had detested. Elizabeth is a clear image of how Jane Austen wishes she had been instead of letting other people control her own life.
