Elisabeth’s character is such a terribly good example of the infantilisation of women.
It has become a standard to carry a feminine and petite image, to the point they degrade themselves into it almost unconsciously. And what makes it worse is how overlooked it is.
imagine if lizzy had allowed herself to wear whatever SHE wanted and followed her OWN dreams :') i think she'd have loved high heeled shoes with lots of bows and cute details and that makes me SO sad.... she gave up everything for the "dream future" that was expected of her
