Pride and Prejudice Letter Critique: Hannah!

I feel that Hannah's letter would fit into the novel amazingly well. The word choice and mannerisms she used were on point with Elizabeth in the novel. I thought that the ending was especially good because she had Elizabeth not only ask for forgiveness, but also accept Darcy's marriage offer (and we all know how I love a happy ending). Hannah allowed Elizabeth's personality to come through the letter which was really good and made it seem more real.
I also like how she addressed every point that Mr. Darcy made in his letter in order. This letter showed how Elizabeth is at this point in the book a bit emotionally vulnerable because she must admit she is wrong and hurt her pride. If I have to critique something, it might have been good to add a little more about why Elizabeth thought badly about him before. But overall I like how you can sense what Elizabeth is feeling through the word choice in the letter. Great job! :)
