Miss Bennet, do you know who I am?
– Jane Austen
Pride and Prejudice, Chapter 56. At this stage we all know who Lady Catherine de Bourgh is and she is making sure of that. But the aristocratic lady thinks that somebody from a lower social class – Elizabeth – shouldn’t have the impertinence to talk back to a person of her high stature. However, Elizabeth doesn’t follow the Lady Catherine playbook and is a person who speaks her mind.
