Elizabeth’s marriage is far more important than women’s marriage in today. In the modern day, marriage is just one reason for having children and cohabitating. In the 18th century, women’s major interest was love. Even though women rarely took part in economic activities, they were looking for love instead and they became happy if they thought they had found it. Actually, I think the most important thing in the world is looking for true love. No matter how good my life may be, I absolutely need my soul mate to be perfect. I guess what the Bennet sisters aspire for is the most important and meaningful thing in the universe.
