During the time of Lotte and Elizabeth, women could not make independent choices by themselves, or could only make limited number of choices. Frequently, even the freedom to choose their mates was unavailable, or is the only freedom they are granted with. Although both women did not have much choice available in their life, such as education and career, fortunately, Lotte and Elizabeth both have few options that they could select from in terms of their companions.

Mr. Darcy, known for his wealth and name, earns ten thousand pounds a year, and has inherited properties in Pembereley, where Elizabeth is astonished by its beauty.

Despite the fact he is ultimately willing to use his wealth to relief the Bennets who are financially inferior, he does not extend his courteousness and generosity to the others, and if the occasion does arise, it is only for the sake of Elizabeth’s happiness. The same dedication that is given to Georgiana with the room in Pembereley is translated to his affectionate woman. Personality wise, Mr. Darcy is described as “tacit”, and he is usually reserved with his emotions that Elizabeth is surprised when he proposes to her. And when his proposal is denied, he undoubtedly is able to conceal his discomposure quietly, and able to achieve the peace of mind before reacting with extremity. Such is a stark contrast between him and Mr. Collins, who denies acknowledging that he is rejected, three times to be exact, even though Elizabeth makes intelligible denial
