Lady de Bourgh despite being called a LADY isn't really one. When Elizabeth gets to Charlottes house Mr. Collins takes Elizabeth to meet his patroness. During the meeting Lady de Bourgh spends the whole evening just "spitting" at Elizabeth faces, basically stating that her family is just a piece of crap. How all her sisters are poorly taught and how not even one excels in an art. She also takes the time to tell Elizabeth to stay out of her family's business knowing some facts about Darcy and her.
To my surprise Elizabeth doesn't bend her head and look at the ground, she looks her straight at the eye and stands up for what she beliefs and protects her family even though she knows it is not the most cultures one.
The view I had about Elizabeth changed completely in this part of the novel I loved how she can't really find her path in love, but stands up for her beliefs something a women 200 years ago would commonly not do.
I know belief that Elizabeth is a strong person that evokes confidence but at the same time an odd feeling making her such an important character in the novel.
