Lady Catherine de Bourgh: *ranting*-you, my nephew, the son of my sister, with Miss Eliza Bennet! The gall of that girl and her family to spread rumours about you, they really do not understand what it would mean for our family's name! And she did not even blink when I went to confront her! She will not let it go, she will not be persuaded to forget you! Oh, thankfully Mr Collins made me aware of what she was plotting, or I would have been the last to know that she wanted to marry you!

Fitzwilliam Darcy: *flabbergasted* what?

Anne de Bourgh: second-last, I guess.

Reminder that Jane Austen's heroines, like all real human women, are occasionally downright mean in their private thoughts. And that's normal.

Elizabeth Bennet (of Anne de Bourgh, a woman she has never met): “I like her appearance,” said Elizabeth, struck with other ideas. “She looks sickly and cross. Yes, she will do for him very well. She will make him a very proper wife.”

Anne Elliot (on why she's better than Henrietta and Louisa): Anne always contemplated them as some of the happiest creatures of her acquaintance; but still, saved as we all are, by some comfortable feeling of superiority from wishing for the possibility of exchange, she would not have given up her own more elegant and cultivated mind for all their enjoyments...

Elinor Dashwood (on women she has known for one evening): This specimen of the Miss Steeles was enough. The vulgar freedom and folly of the eldest left her no recommendation, and as Elinor was not blinded by the beauty, or the shrewd look of the youngest, to her want of real elegance and artlessness, she left the house without any wish of knowing them better.

(Elizabeth's statement is technically out loud, but she says it as an aside and Maria Lucas doesn't respond, indicating that either she didn't hear or was too confused to reply)

A Ranking of Jane Austen Heroines, in Ascending Order of Culpability

Fanny (Mansfield Park): Has done nothing wrong ever in her life (but would never say this as she is far too humble).

Elinor (S&S): Must have scoliosis from carrying the whole weight of the Dashwood family at the ripe old age of 19. Should probably have asked for help by now, but who's she going to ask? Her mother? Unlikely.

Anne (Persuasion): Pros: is the only functioning member of her family. Cons: took some really bad advice when she was 17.

Elizabeth (P&P): So dead-set on hating Mr. Darcy that she falls hook-line-and-sinker for the lies Wickham tells her with no questions asked. Otherwise has good sense.

Marianne (S&S): Throws herself headlong into the Romantic Experience™️ and gets her heart broken by a playboy when Colonel Brandon is literally RIGHT THERE. 

Catherine (Northanger Abbey): Good-hearted, but easily led astray. So obsessed with Gothic novels that she kind of accuses Mr. Tilney's father of murdering his wife and burying her in the basement.

Emma (Emma): Tells Harriet to refuse the nice guy she likes, too prideful to see that Mr. Elton is pursuing her instead of Harriet, gossips about Jane Fairfax, feels like the rules don't apply to her, won't listen to Mr. Knightly. Is a menace.
