Portraying, Not Embracing, Seems not Seems

So, now that I’ve got time, let me tell you what I’m planning to write about.
• The book got my attention a couple of times, but nothing special compared to my favorites: Hamlet and Slaughterhouse-Five.
• Anyways, if I could choose one thing to write about, it would be, certainly, the dichotomy between the different personalities that people display to other people. Confusing?
• Wait. Let’s get it clear. One character, the main one, Elizabeth. Her personality displays different phases throughout the story. Her personality towards Mr. Darcy differs from her personality towards Jane, or any other character. Furthermore, she changes her attitude within minutes, to the extent that she ‘seems’ to portray a different image than the one she actually embraces.
• Another thing, her development throughout the novel highlights from the rest. Hence, making her personality the most acquiescent. The ‘seems not seems’ argument from Hamlet. The pursuit of happiness through actions that don’t characterize yourself as a being from Gatsby. Elizabeth evolves, and finally achieves her happiness. But in order to get there, she plays with her personality to the extent she becomes a different character for every character. Still confusing? Hope not.
• By the way, I haven’t finished the book. I’m still about one hundred pages to go, but be patient. Who knows, maybe next time we meet I’ll have another topic in mind. Till then. TTYL.
