The modern day heroine.

I'm currently reading Pride and Prejudice and constantly watching Sex and the City. Both of which have outstanding lead females in the middle of a huge relationship fiasco. Elizabeth Bennett is seen as a young women who is constantly outspoken with views that were more than frowned upon at the time. And Carrie Bradshaw? Carrie Bradshaw is seen as the outgoing, single New Yorker who's views are worshipped and seen as miracles by many other single women around the world in her articles and more recent books. Years apart and authors apart, the same heroine seems to appear time and time again. A confident and very original single girl who is looking for nothing more than love. And of course, with this heroine comes their saviour! There ever reliant love interest who is constantly being misjudged by others, but only our heroine- and the few we- can see what happens behind closed doors. And it's not only our modern heroine that is relatable to, but also our (come on... they become our )love interests. Mr. Darcy and Mr. Big. Both completely drawn into their work or their hierarchy and constantly not trying to show their true feelings, but evidently no one can hide from it. Maybe times have changed at massive speeds and society has changed, no one can deny that, but still women are looking for that same four lettered word. Love. xoxo
