Neither of them loves the men that are proposing to them nor do they want to be with them. In “Our Mutual Friend” Lizzie is more blunt and rude telling Mr. Headstone that she doesn’t want to marry him. She turns him down cold, but in “Pride and Prejudice” Lizzie has more of an elegant way of telling Mr. Collins that she doesn’t want his hand in marriage. She has more of a heart when it comes to telling him that she isn’t interested. In telling both men that they were not interested in marriage both women used to appeal to logos, they both had sensible answers and explanations to the proposal.
The word choice employed by any writer can interpret or conceal any of the author's motives or secrets. Nancy Mairs uses insistent diction in which she reiterates words such as "handicapped", "disabled", and "crippled" in order to invigorate her self-definition across to the reader. Mairs uses a mainstream choice of language in her passage that allows her to be pellucid and categorical as simply stated in line 15, “Cripple” seems to me an immaculate word, straightforward and precise." Thus showing how "cripple" is a cold, appropriate, and meticulous adjective for herself. The simplicity of such a statement is what makes it immensely powerful.

Through Friar Lawrence, Shakespeare shows us how shortsightedness will avert our true responsibilities. Friar Lawrence only sees the good effects, but pays no mind to possible mishaps, which causes him to make bad judgments. When Romeo and Juliet fall in love and want to get married, they seek Friar Lawrence to fulfill their desires. At first, Friar Lawrence opposes because he believes that the pace of their relationship is going too fast, but gives in “For this alliance may so happy prove to turn your households’ rancor to pure love”(Act 2.3 #98-99). Despite the fact that Friar Lawrence had already thought through some of the consequences, like their relationship is not actual love, he only thought through half of it.
Women during this time were only allowed to go so far and do so much without being restrained it seemed like. She doubts herself in letters she sends to her female friends who sympathize with her problems in choosing her partner for marriage. As a result to her resent of her thoughts about female powerlessness, and her outspoken thoughts of marriage. Virtue also resulted in achievement of morality, which was identified with marriage.

However for both Bronte and Austen, relationships were unconventional for their time, as neither of the women married. Austen’s novel was much more widely accepted, as the heroine does not condone the inappropriate relationship that begins to form between Isabella and Captain Tilney. “His behaviour was so incompatible with a knowledge of Isabella’s engagement” Austen is satirical and ironic Cathy and Heathcliff’s relationship becomes strained and unobtainable because of the pressures society imposes on Cathy to marry for status and weath. Their family and society forbid Cathy and Heathcliff’s love throughout the novel. Critic Suzanne Birkett suggest ‘She later marries Edgar and comes to feel that she is imprisoned by society’s rules.’ As although Cathy has made a wise choice in marrying Edgar because ‘He will be rich’, her forbidden love for Heathcliff still hinders her when Heathcliff once again returns in chapter ten.
In Jane Austen’s Emma, Austen expresses the importance of not judging others based on class, their employment, or events of the past. This belief of Austen’s, is shown throughout the novel: from the opening when Emma discourages Harriet to marry the wonderful Mr. Martin, based on his employment, to insulting the kindly Miss Bates because of her tendency to speak dully. Ironically, Emma judges others so harshly, when she does not heed nor take criticism aimed at her lightly. Austen employs motifs to further show this tendency to judge others in the form of reoccurring insight to the judgmental mind of Emma. This parody, set in the early nineteenth century, shows the constraints of culture in England, and the tendency to judge others, but not one’s self.
Don’t expect the flower to walk right up to you hive. But still, so many guys do. But if she likes me so much… then WHY does she want to be just friends? Ah, female logic! Einstein has been quoted as saying that he can unravel many of the universe’s greatest mysteries… but he still doesn’t understand women.
