While reading goodbye without leaving I kept "Pride and Prejudice" in my mind because the theme of both novels is self-realization. The main character in pride and prejudice didn't realize what she wanted until nearly at the end of the novel, however in this book, the author presents Geraldine as an independent person, who didn't need to depend on anyone. She made her own decisions. Going back to "Pride and Prejudice" the main character Elizabeth Bennet is fairly attractive is receptive to the hero and genuinely desirable as a women. So is very similar to Geraldine in goodbye without leaving Elizabeth is also is a masculine strength in her, clarity of vision, a directness of purpose that raises her above the heroine. So going back to goodbye without leaving Geraldine left her graduate school. She lost her parents because they didn't like the concept of Geraldine being a shakette. In the novel, Laurie Colwin makes Geraldine character a foil to Mary Abolt, who is her best friend. Mary isn't exactly a foiled to Geraldine because Geraldine only compared herself with her. Mary helped Geraldine make decisions, however Geraldine took her decision as the final.
