Which image is more similar to Elizabeth in Pride and Predict or in Chinese classical novels?
Because Elizabeth in Pride and Predict was a fictional character, it could not be directly compared with the image in Chinese classical novels. However, if one considered Elizabeth's image and characteristics in literature and culture, one might think that Elizabeth's image in Chinese culture was more similar. Elizabeth was a very smart, independent, brave, and principled woman in Pride and Predict. She respected knowledge, valued morality, and opposed prejudice, which was similar to the values emphasized in traditional Chinese culture. In addition, the image of Elizabeth in the novel also reflected some cultural characteristics of the British society at that time, such as the equal status of men and women, the emphasis on loyalty and love in marriage, etc. In contrast, the images in Chinese classical novels were more complex and diverse, such as Lin Daiyu in "Dream of the Red Chamber" and Sun Wukong in "Journey to the West". These characters had unique personalities and characteristics, which were quite different from Elizabeth's image in Pride and Predict.
