"Growing up, I always wished that a love like Elizabeth and Darcy’s in Pride and Prejudice would find me. I know I’m not alone in wanting a person to be so enamored with me that my very touch throws them off balance (yes, I’m talking about the infamous hand flex). But beyond that, I always looked up to Elizabeth Bennet as a character. From knowing her worth during a time when women were viewed as property to truly wanting to marry for love instead of status, she’s a 19th-century heroine worth admiring.
Elizabeth Bennet is honest and loyal, not afraid to speak her mind, and stand up for herself or her loved ones. Paired with a bit of playfulness, witty banter, and intelligent conversation, she is someone everyone loves to have around. Sound familiar? If these traits ring any bells, someone in your friend group might have these same qualities—and you can thank their zodiac sign. So, my Pride and Prejudice lovers, read on to find out which zodiac signs are most likely to be the Elizabeth Bennet of the friend group.
Gemini
One thing about Geminis is, like our lovely Elizabeth Bennet, they are very quick-witted. Your playfulness draws people in, and you’re probably the spontaneous friend, always encouraging everyone to try something new. However, you also know when to take things more seriously, and your friends appreciate that. You’re curious about the world, just as Elizabeth is as she tries to find her place. This curiosity is what drives you—as you see and experience more of the world, your ideas change. Your strong communication skills can convince others to see the beauty in this adaptability, like Elizabeth coming to understand her feelings towards Mr. Darcy after initially misjudging him.
Leo
It should come as no surprise that a fire sign might be the Elizabeth Bennet of the friend group. Leos, you are known for your creativity and passion, similar to Elizabeth’s drive to step outside of the path society has laid out for her. Leos are also humorous and energetic, always keeping the people around them happy and laughing. As friends, Leos are strong-willed and deeply loyal to their people. This kind of loyalty forges bonds and connections that are unbreakable and unlike any other. These bonds are reminiscent of Elizabeth’s deep loyalty to her family and friends and the complicated yet integral role she plays in her family.
Sagittarius
Something about Elizabeth Bennet truly screams fire sign. More specifically, Sagittarius. A Sag loves their freedom and independence, like Elizabeth, who prefers to accomplish things herself, whether it be a search for knowledge or adventure. As a fire sign, you are incredibly honest—sometimes to a fault. Elizabeth is exactly the same. But this honesty, alongside a generous and adventurous spirit, is everything you could ask for in a friend. A Sagittarius is always looking for opportunities to grow, and their open-minded nature makes it possible. Elizabeth’s growth throughout Pride and Prejudice is due to introspectiveness and willingness to change.
Aquarius
As an Aquarius and an air sign, it’s easy to see why you might be the Elizabeth Bennet of your friend group. Your intellect and independence are comparable to Miss Bennet, and you also aren’t afraid to stand up for your own causes. You’re a revolutionary, much like her, ready to change the world for the better, not just for yourself but for all people. Your need for mental stimulation means you love deep conversations. An Aquarius could probably spend all night talking to their friends (or Mr. Darcy) about what they believe in. These traits all hit home for Elizabeth Bennet, who is ready to face the hard and complicated questions and stand strong behind her own opinions.
