Not if Lizzy's smart, she won't. What were her alternatives? She hit the jackpot with Darcy. Think of living wih her mother in very reduced circumstances after her father died. *shudder* Even living with Darcy would be preferable. That said, no matter how Austen sugar-coats it, there is no forgiving him for his appalling rudeness at that first ball.
Jane, yes, she had enough money to be independent. Run, Jane, run. And not to the missions with her cousin, either.
I agree with you about Romeo and Juliet. Romeo would have moved on in another week or so and Juliet was just an addlepated 13-year old girl in love with love.
