What Can My Character Teach Me?






A lesson I learned from Elizabeth Bennet’s character is that you don’t need to possess skills in every possible area to be “accomplished” or “important”. When faced with the opinion that an “accomplished woman” can play music, sing, dance, speak several languages, draw, and read frequently, Elizabeth owned up to the fact that she wasn’t talented in but one or two of those expectations . Not only did she own up to the facts, but she wasn’t ashamed of where she was lacking; she accepted it as who she was and realized there were other things more important than accomplishments in many activities. For what she lacked in skill she made up for with her passion. 


My character is Lady Catherine. She is prideful, selfish, and is kind of mean. It isn't a good thing to bully people around as if you're the boss, and you can often hurt peoples feelings if you aren't careful.


  Although his wit and dry humor make Mr. Bennet a likeable character for much of the book, you quickly realize that many of the Bennet family's difficulties come from his lack of responsibility.
I must say I was frustrated with his inward focused anti-social behavior which left his wife so free to wreak havoc.
What did I learn from his character? Well I don't want to be anti-social and irresponsible, honestly whatever God shows me I need to grow in I'll work on it.
