Some reasons I will never be a Romance Heroine:
Anyone can add! PLEASE!!!!
I don't care how hot that 18th century Scotman is; I REFUSE to stay in a time without antibiotics, mammograms, pads, and the right to vote! (Yes, I put the most important last, but...)
I don't have time for his "Oh, I'm so sad I'm rich, will no one love me for ME!" shit. If your money is all a woman wants from you (historical or contemporary) then maybe that's a sign you need to cultivate a few positive traits that don't have anything to do with your ability to buy Portugal.

Lizzy did not fall for Darcy at Pemberly!
This is Lizzy at Pemberly: "And of this place," thought she, "I might have been mistress! With these rooms I might now have been familiarly acquainted! Instead of viewing them as a stranger, I might have rejoiced in them as my own, and welcomed to them as visitors my uncle and aunt. But no,"—recollecting herself—"that could never be; my uncle and aunt would have been lost to me; I should not have been allowed to invite them." This was a lucky recollection—it saved her from something very like regret.
So, The Letter made her think slightly better of Darcy (and a lot worse of Wickham), but she still believed he's so proud he would reject her maternal family for being in trade. She wasn't going to give up the Gardiners for the man OR Pemberly. Not to mention, he still hadn't shown regret for what he did to Jane.
When she first came to Pemberly, she saw a better side of him, (and yes, it would be nice to live in a home like this) but it was his actions that won her heart. His atoning for his actions towards Jane and how he saved Lydia without expectation.

I'm asking an open question to anyone willing to answer: What do you see as Elizabeth Bennet's flaws?!
One issue is that a lot of what were considered Elizabeth's potential flaws in Austen's time---being a strong-willed, stubbornly independent thinker who questions and analyzes critically - are genuinely viewed as shining strengths in modern society. Another is that while we're told even by the title that being prideful and judgmental are Lizzie's (and Darcy's!) flaws, 1. One can hardly blame her for judging Darcy as a jerk when 97% of the time in her presence he was, in fact, a jerk (or just icily silent lol) and 2. Believing in herself and her own judgment and not being easily swayed are again quite understandably presented not as real flaws but as signs of strength, especially when viewed through a modern day lens.
Conversely, some of what made Jane Bennet a nearly perfect woman by Regency-era standards are viewed less favorably now---she can be perceived as meek, passive, too eager to be 'agreeable', not exactly a deep thinker, sometimes even dishonest with herself and others in her quest to be private and reserved.
So Elizabeth is pretty, brilliant, witty, charming, loving, brave, strong, independent, clever, confident, effervescent, loyal, courageous, generous and about a million other positive adjectives, while her flaws are...once misjudging a man who made it eminently easy for her to assume the worst and initially trusting her own judgment too much to be easily swayed and change her mind?!
To be clear, I'm very reluctant to put myself in the "Elizabeth Bennet is too much of a perfect Mary Sue" camp, so I'm appealing to you all for help....what are Elizabeth's salient, consistent flaws?!

Since I can't reply:
Just MY opinion; like her father, she's too quick to judge and laugh at other people. Yes, sometimes people's behavior is very absurd, but they ARE people with feelings. (No, I am not talking about her speech to Darcy after his first proposal, he was a jackass and deserved every word.) She's horrified at Charlotte's choice, and judges her harshly because she can't put herself in her friend's place. (Note everyone is the heroine of a novel, Lizzy!) She never really THINKS about the future. "Lalalalalalala, I can't HEAR you!" I get that her mother's behavior sets her back up, but... she's a heartbeat (her middle aged father's) away from being evicted from her home. She might not be as spendthrift as her mother or Lydia (or her father) but she's accustomed to the finer things in life, and she's not going to be able to afford them on 50 pounds a year. (In S&S, four Dashwood women are living off 500 a year - the SIX Bennet women would be subsiding on half that.) Sure, Mr. Gardiner would help, but he's got children of his own. And he doesn't have the access to society Mr. Bennet would if he got up off his bum. Does she have control over this? No, but does she even think, "Gee whiz. What happens when Dad's gone and Mr. Collins inherits Longbourn?" (NO, I don't think she should have married him!) She's way too indulgent of her father, even at the end. Sure, she has some insight after reading Darcy's letter, and during the whole Lydia debacle, but Dad's guilt is short-lived and (IMHO) is her anger at his passivity.

I relate to this so much! I too occasionally find myself wondering what the original reactions of classic stories were like.
I did read Mansfield Park without spoilers and my reaction was pretty much the same as above.
