Comparing Grey's Anatomy And Pride And Prejudice
Meredith and Elizabeth’s headstrong personalities have made them powerful characters in Grey’s Anatomy and Pride and Prejudice. This is shown when Meredith held a live bomb inside of a patient so they could safely excise it. Her job was significant because she had to make sure it would not detonate and kill everyone. She was only concerned about the wellbeing of her room mates and making sure they could continue to live in the house in the event of her death. In the stress of the situation she expressed, “ George and Izzy shouldn’t have to move out of the house… make sure they get to stay in the house.” This is similar to Elizabeth Bennet due to the fact she was willing to walk alone for 3-5 miles in order to care for her sister. “Elizabeth,
feeling really anxious, was determined to go to her” (Austen 30) Elizabeth also faced the threat of being disowned by her parents depending on the decision she made about Mr. Collins. Mr. Bennet points out, in reference to the possibility of being disowned by one of her parents, “ From this day you must be a stranger to one of your parents.– Your mother will never see you again if you do not marry Mr. Collins, and i will never see you again if you do.”(Austen 107) Regardless of this she followed her heart and decided against marrying Mr. Collins. At first, Merideth didn’t believe her and Derek would last so she let him go. However when she discovers he is dating Rose, she realizes she truly does love him and pursues him until she wins his heart. She passionately states, “ ...when there’s something you really want, fight for it, don’t give up no matter how hopeless it seems. And when you’ve lost hope… you’re gonna wish you gave it one last shot because the best things in life, they don’t come free.” Elizabeth and Meredith both convey headstrong personalities which help them to achieve what they know they can. However, sometimes their headstrong personalities cause them to be skeptical of others which causes bumps in relationships.
