Sorry to all you non-Classics lovers out there, but before you click the 'Close' button, this is a tribute to Elizabeth Bennett. And for those who thought I was going to talk about Mr Darcy emerging from the lake in all his glory, you'd best click the 'Close' button now.
I was asked today who my heroines were and Elizabeth Bennett came to mind.
I love the fact Lizzie wasn't going to settle for the life mapped out before her. Could you imagine being married to Mr Collins? Yeuggh!
There may not be a Darcy around the corner (I'm lucky, I've found mine), but I'd rather wait for that just-got-out-the-lake moment than settle for a life less ordinary.
Thank you Elizabeth Bennett for defying the norm. I salute you.
