Bingley, the most sought after young man in the neighbourhood, is drawn towards her. Elizabeth is also a very beautiful woman, but not to the same extent as Jane, her mother says she is not half so handsome as Jane, and although Mrs Bennet is not the trustworthiest character it is an indication of people's view towards the sisters. Bingley describes her as; very pretty', but Darcy, at first, says she is tolerable; but not handsome enough to tempt' him to dance with her. This means Darcy has to get know her as a person to be attracted to her, whereas Bingley is attracted to Jane on her beauty alone, then begins to love her for the sweet and gentle person she really is. .
Jane is a good person at heart, and believes others to be likewise, this means she is slightly nave, she expects all people to have pure and good motives for everything and seeks to find good in everyone. This means that when someone hurts Jane she will not feel badly towards them, the only time someone hurts Jane enough to lose her regard of them is Miss Bingley in the letter she sends Jane and the way she calls on Jane in London, but does not inform Mr Bingley of her presence in the city. After this Jane says nothing on the matter but just stops contact with her. Jane's view of humanity is precisely summed up in her sister's words to her: " You never see fault in any body. All the world are good and agreeable in your eyes. I never heard you speak ill of a human being in my life."" Elizabeth has a very high view of her sister for this, and thinks that she can never aspire to the goodness of her sister. She says to her, almost in desperation: "You are too good, your swee!.
tness and disinterestedness are really angelic; I do not know what to say to you. I feel as if I have never done you justice, or loved you as you deserve."" .
Elizabeth is more of a realist; she sizes up people, not cruelly, but justly and with the ability, usually, to make a good, valued judgement of their true personality.
