elizabeth bennet and anthony bridgerton have never liked each other. i'm fact they absolutely despised each other ever since they were children. lizzie has always gotten along great with the rest of the bridgertons though. violet even jokes about her being the daughter she never knew she needed. anthony always hated the fact that she got along so well with his family. maybe it was because he wanted her to give him the same care and attention she gave his siblings but you would be crazy if you though anthony would ever admit that to himself never mind anyone else but a part of him also adored her for the same thing. if she could get along so well with his absolutely amazing yet undoubtedly insane family then she was already perfect in his eyes. but she wasn't perfect in his eyes. in his eyes she was rude, uncivilized, and had no respect. she never knew when to shut her mouth and she enjoyed physical violence a little too much. especially when it came to anthony bridgerton. there is nothing elizabeth bennet loves more in this world than beating anthony bridgerton at a round of fencing.
