Miss Bates Written by Bridget D (2/27/2011 3:30 a.m.) in consequence of the missive, Not noticing it or not speaking of it?, penned by TimLee

I think that she's naive. she notices a lot of things, she's a great talker on little matters, but doesn't have the intelligence to process them.. so that's why Austen can use her to rattle on about things without noticing their significance and the reader can then work out various clues to things.
