The middle Bennet is at her core a misunderstood and confused character, and Austen chooses to show us only her most contradictory thoughts. We stood by Lizzy while Darcy crooned his affections, which she thinks of with satirical vehemence, and in Volume three chapter 1 we see her waver “to be mistress of Pemberley might be something!” Upon close reading and comparing all of Elizabeth’s insights we see her negotiations with herself, her loyalty for
