Essay: Why is marriage not the same for Elizabeth as it is for her mother (Mrs. Bennet)?

Intro:
- Marriage is a sacred bond between a couple who love each other.

- Mrs. Bennet is very careless.  

     - One Minded.

          - Emotionless

              - Lack of thought and development in what she does.
- Elizabeth very simplistic on life.
     - Doesn't take things to hard.
           - Not afraid to speak her mind.

Paragraph 1:
- Mrs. Bennet looks towards the future.
     *Stability for her daughters.
- Money is the issue (yet the men are handsome).
- Living in the clouds.
- Doesn't understand her boundaries, thinks she's is higher class, yet she is part of the poor.
- Marriage is a joke for her in a sense.
      *Doesn't respect it.
- Selfish
- Carless
- Wants her daughters to have a financial future, true love is last on her list.

Paragraph 2:
- Elizabeth is very independent
      * Shuts down Mr. Collins and Darcey.
      * Not afraid to dance with multiple at the ball, doesn't care what others think of her
- Pride
- Wants true love.  Doesn't care for the money
- Doesn't look at her class but is aware of who she is.
- Head not in the clouds.
- Respects marriage
- Money is nothing to her but material, wants the sentimental value of the heart and care.

Conclusion:
- Mrs. Bennet sees marriage as an investment and the groom as broker who is suppose to take on the stock which is her daughters and make it grow in price in terms meaning their financial situation in their lives.  She wants a cash cow not a husband for their daughters, as she says for future stability but really for herself for the self satisfaction of knowing that she pulled it of getting into the higher class.
- Elizabeth keeps life simple.  She is middle class and knows.  She doesn't care if her husband is rich or poor, she just wants the man of her dreams, yet not in the comic way as in a fairy as we would think in the 1800s but in a way which he would truly love her and she could love him for who he is and not for what he stands or what he's made of.  She wants the sacred bond to be legitimate.  Her simple values allow her to be a real woman unlike her sister who's more like glass and can break at any time because she is unable to think for her self like Liz, INDEPENDENCE.
