Answer:

In Book 1, some of her merits include her physical beauty, her desire to act in an ethical fashion, and her moral transformation as she realizes that money does not necessarily bring happiness and that poverty is not synonymous with moral degradation.

On the other hand, some negative attributes associated with her include her inability to manage money, her inability to understand men, and her shallow nature at the beginning of the novel.
