Speaking out: "No kiss" makes ship more attractive

Lizzie thinks her cynicism makes her smarter than Jane--but then it turns out that that her judgements were just as wrong. She blinded herself to the truth just as much as Jane did. Jane believed people were better than they are, Lizzie believed they were worse than they are. This didn't mean Lizzie was smarter--it just made her crueler and more miserable. Jane takes optimism and kindness to the extreme, but Lizzie still has a lot to learn from her. Giving people the benefit of the doubt, believing in their goodness, instead of assuming that she sees and knows the true flaws of people's characters, can make her a wiser and better person.

Lydia is a lesson for Lizzie in the other direction. Lizzie thinks herself better than her sister, but it turns out they have a lot of the same flaws. Lydia is lively and high-spirited--so is Lizzie. They both admire Wickham and are blinded to his faults. After learning the truth about Wickham, Lizzie realizes that Lydia expresses a lot of the same thoughts that Lizzie had once held, and thought herself wise for holding! If Lydia's faults were restrained, she could become a lot like Lizzie, but Lizzie's faults meant she was more like Lydia than she realized.

It. It literally did. That was literally precisely the point.

"They were a good person and people still died because they didn't put trust in anyone else" ← is so fucking good but people don't fucking appreciate it

"They were a good person and they failed. Over and over again. They failed." ← DO YOU NOT UNDERSTAND HOW DELICIOUS THAT IS!?!?
