The thing about Lizzy is that you really do like her, not just as a character but as a person, which I think is something we rarely find in a main female character (though the majority of Austen's ladies had it, but in very different ways).

I chose to use Jennifer Ehle’s portrayal from the 1995 mini-series, since she’s not only my favorite Lizzy, but it’s also my favorite Pride and Prejudice

Yesssss. In the battle of the P&P's you've chosen the right side!

Love the post!

Thank you. I try not to go around bashing the other versions, since they're all very well done, but for me nothing could ever compare to those glorious six hours.

Thank you so much for organizing - it's been so much fun!

I feel like Lizzy falls somewhere in between. You read the story and you like her, not just as a character but as a person.

I love Lizzie. This isn't something I had thought about before, strangely enough, but you're so right. ♥ Excellent meta.

Thank you :) I haven't written a ton of meta in my day, so it's nice to know I don't suck at it.
