And make a bridge through the moving air
To pass the ocean with a band of men;

And make that country continent to Spain,
And both contributory to my crown;
The Emperor shall not live by my leave,
Nor any potentate of Germany.
Now that I have obtained what I desire

Till Mephistophilis return again.

[18] Elizabeth Bennet is the heroine of Pride and Prejucide. What kind of character do you think
Elizabeth Bennet is?
答：


答案：

Elizabeth is clever, alert, and observant.
She is able to match wits with Darcy several
times and with Colonel Fizwilliam, earning their respect and admiration.
Fearless
and
frank,
not
rattled
by
the
attack
of
Lady
Catherine
de
Bourgh,
she
wins
a
notable
cictory, sending her ladyship away completely routed.
She is independent but not infallible in her judgement-- taken in by the charm of the worthless
Wickham.
She
cannot
be
blamed
for
misjudging
Darcy.
She
shows
flexibility,
discernment
and
honesty of mind when she reads Darcy's defense in his letter and admits the justice of much of
what he says.
She
is
able
to
control
her
emotions
at
times
of
stress--
when
she
first
encounters
Darcy
at
Pemberley;
when she realizes that she loves Darcy and has good reason to fear that she has lost
him, she waits without replying for time to bring a solution. She is witty, fun-loving, recognizing
humor
in
herself
and
in
others,
but
ridicuing
only
folly,
nonsense,
and
inconsistencies.
She
recognizes the follies of her own family and their shortcomings as well as their virtues.
