I get it, but that's part of why I like her.

I sometimes feel like people think the book is called Pride and That One Clever Girl Who Is Already Perfect Thank You Very Much. To me, and in my preferred interpretation/adaptations, Lizzie is used to being the smartest person in her circle. And that's partly because she kind of *is* but she gets a little full of herself and gives Jane some poor advice. She's our viewpoint character and we are heavily biased towards her, but she does develop and grow over the story.

This. She's not supposed to be perfect.

DA - yes, but “not perfect” doesn’t necessarily mean smug either (omg, so much smirking. It’s basically her only facial expression). A person can and should be able to criticize the acting/directing choices made without being accused of expecting the character to be perfect.

This is my pet peeve with people hating Emma. The whole POINT of Emma is that she is a fuck up with flaws who needs a figurative slap in the face to realize it. She's not supposed to be perfect.

Yes! And when she realises that she was spectacularly wrong about Wickham, and fairly wrong about Darcy*, it's genuinely a nasty shock which makes her realise she has to reassess, not just her assumptions about them, but her belief that she's always right.

In a way, she's quite like her father - she's charming and funny with just the right amount of edge to be compelling, and so it's easy to remain blind to her faults. Unlike Mr Bennet, she gets forced to reassess herself soon enough that it might stick.


* She's not wrong that he was behaving like an arrogant arse at the ball, but she allows that to blind her to the possibilities he might have good qualities as well.
