Jane Austen was a 19th century woman and belongs to an era where female social conformity was required, original thinking frowned upon, and creativity discouraged among women . Jane Austen's novel Pride and Prejudice, published in 1813, portrays the story of the Benet family through the perspective of the protagonist and one of the best-known female characters in literature, Elizabeth Benet. Jane Austen represents the feminization of the English novel. In her stories she projects the typical female point of view. He presents his male characters not as they are but as they appear to women. Therefore, Darcy and Bingley, two important male characters in the novel, are seen through the eyes of women such as Elizabeth and Jane. Furthermore, men never appear alone; they are always in the woman's company, be it dances, dinners, card sessions or simple walks. There is an absence of masculinity in his novels. The society in which the Benet family lives is a patriarchal society in which women are forced to seek security only within marriage. Daughters are denied economic rights and even deprived of their parents' property after their father's death, as is clearly demonstrated when Mr. Benet's estate is tied to Mr. Collins. The moment Mr. Benet dies, the family will lose everything. Madame Benet never forgets him and does not allow others to forget him. Charlotte Lucas, who can afford a moderate life with her father, realizes that economic security is more essential than marital happiness and thus ends up marrying a pompous buffoon like Mr. Collins. Lydia, though stupid, knows the importance of spelling "Madam" with her name. These women are intelligent in understanding the compulsions of their situations. However, some of the women in the novel possess...... half of the paper......and a contact with Darcy. Jane, the eldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Benet, is described as more beautiful, reserved and kind than Elizabeth. She is very different from Elizabeth. Although she is Elizabeth's eldest, she does not have the ability to deal with all the problems as Elizabeth did when she comes to meet her sister in Nether Field Park when she was ill. His main desire in life was to see the good in others. His simple and pleasant interaction with Bingley is contrasted with the mutual disgust that marks the encounters between Darcy and Elizabeth. She is so sweet that she immediately appreciates the kindness done to her. She has a charitable attitude towards people which makes her the only member of the Benet family to see any good qualities in Darcy. Due to her kind nature towards everyone people appreciate her and also she doesn't give in to her feelings in public.
