I Liked The Idea Of Giving Eligible A Feminist Flavor. While I Do Think That In Pride And Prejudice, Liz Bennet Is Very Bold, She Is Also Very Restricted In Terms Of What's Appropriate For Her To Do And The Ways It's Appropriate For Her To Behave. One Of The Differences Between Pride And Prejudice And Eligible Is That My Female Characters Take More Initiative In Their Romantic Lives.
