Chapter | Brief summary of events | Key themes explored + relevant quotations | Key character development + relevant quotations |
1 | Discussion on marriage. Mr + Mrs Bennet discuss arrival of rich Bingley- could marry one of the Bennet sisters. Lizzy is not like other girls | Marriage Gender roles "they are all silly and ignorant like other girls; but Lizzy has something more of quickness than her sisters" "when a woman has five grown up daughters, she ought to give over thinking of her own beauty"- mother
Wealth + money | Mr Bennet values intelligence (for his daughters) + is intelligent etc. "they are all silly and ignorant like other girls; but Lizzy has something more of quickness than her sisters" "Mr Bennet was so odd a mixture of quick parts, sarcastic, humour, reserve, and caprice."
Mrs Bennet is not vain- motherly |
2 | Mr+ Mrs Bennet plan for Mr Bingley to meet their daughters | Marriage+ love- parents' duty. Familial love is providing the best social marriages. | Mrs Bennet is hysterical woman |
3 | Kerr, Lara (WIM) Student at 04/09/2022 12:10 Mr Bennet has visited Mr Bingley. The Bennet sisters are trying to find out what he's like. The dance happens- everyone likes Mr Bingley and hates Mr Darcey. | Reputation matters: Snobbery Romance- based on looks (as well as class) Gender roles- all the sisters (except Lizzy?) conform to gender roles: | Mr Bingley is ideal "good looking and gentlemanlike; he had pleasant countenance, and easy, unaffected manners" "he was lively and unreserved, danced every dance" Romantic: "Oh! She is the most beautiful creature I ever beheld!"
Mr Darcey is good looking but bad "much handsomer than Mr Bingley [...] till his manners gave a disgust which turned the tide of his popularity." "Not all his large estate in Derbyshire could then save him from having a most forbidding, disagreeable, countenance". P12 "He was the proudest, most disagreeable man in the world" "She is tolerable; but not handsome enough to tempt me"
|
4 | Jane's telling Elizabeth how much she likes Bingley. | Gender roles ig? "He is just what a young man ought to be [...] sensible, good humoured, lively; and I never saw such happy manners!-- so much ease, with such perfect good breeding" p16
Social class and snobbery "They were rather handsome, had been educated in one of the first private seminaries in town, had a fortune of twenty thousand pounds, were in the habit of spending more than they ought, and of associating with people of rank; and were therefore in every respect entitled to think well of themselves, and meanly of others." p17
| Jane Bennet "You have liked many a stupider person"- Lizzy p16 "You ever see a fault in any body. All the world are good and agreeable in your eyes. Mr Bingley: "could not conceive an angel more beautiful" p118
|
5 | Introduced to Lucases. They are all complaining about Mr Darcey. | Gender roles Social class + snobbery (pride) "His pride [...] does not offend me so much as pride often does, because there is an excuse for it. One cannot wonder that so very fine a young man, with family, fortune, every thing in his favour, should think highly of himself. If I may so express it, he has a right to be proud." p21 From Mary: "Pride[...] is a very common failing I believe [...] Pride relates more to our opinion of ourselves, vanity to what we would have others think of us."
| Sir William Lucas Of his mayoralty, "The distinction had perhaps been felt too strongly. It had given him a disgust to his business and to his residence." So he moved "where he could think with pleasure of his own importance, and unshackled by business, occupy himself solely in being civil to all the world".
Lady Lucas |
6 | Miss Bingley + Miss Hurst like Jane but not the other Bennets. Lizzy + Charlotte chat about how Jane should get Mr Bingley + marriage as a whole. They are on a walk (?) Mr Darcey likes Lizzy. Lizzy sings well, Mary... Does not. | Love (+marriage) "if a woman conceals her affection with the same skill from the object of it, she may lose the opportunity of fixing him; and it will then be but poor consolation to believe the world equally in the dark [...] In nine cases out of ten, a woman had better shew more affection than she feels"- Charlotte p22. Charlotte makes plans about how to get the man but Lizzy replies... "Your plan is a good one [...] where nothing is in question but the desire of being well married[...] but these are not Jane's feelings; she is not acting by design"
Marriage "Happiness in marriage is entirely a matter of chance. If the dispositions of the parties are ever so well known to each other or ever so similar beforehand, it does not advance their felicity in the least. They always continue to grow sufficiently unlike afterwards to have their share of vexation; and it is better to know as little as possible of the defects of the person with whom you are to pass your life."
Love | Poor Mary Bennet "Mary, who having, in consequence of being the only plain one in the family, worked hard for knowledge and accomplishments, was always impatient for display." "Mary had neither genius nor taste; and though vanity had given her application, it had given her likewise a pedantic and conceited manner, which would have injured a higher degree of excellence than she had reached." p25
Mr Darcey |
7 | Catherine + Lydia walk to Meryton to see Aunt Philips- largely to find out about officers. Jane sees Mr Bingley, is unwell so stays there. Lizzy visits her and stays with Jane at Netherfield (with Bingleys) | Gender roles Elizabeth walking 3 miles "was almost incredible to Mrs Hurst and Miss Bingley; and Elizabeth was convinced that they held her in contempt for it. She was received, however, very politely by them"- they put up facade idk.
| Catherine + Lydia Bennet "their minds were more vacant than their sisters'" "they could talk of nothing but officers; and Mr Bingley's large fortune" Mr Bennet: "you must be two of the silliest girls in the country"
Elizabeth Bennet Mrs Hurst + Miss Bingley Elizabeth walking 3 miles "was almost incredible to Mrs Hurst and Miss Bingley; and Elizabeth was convinced that they held her in contempt for it. She was received, however, very politely by them"- they put up facade idk. "...affection and solicitude they shewed for Jane"
|
8 | Dinner at Netherfield. Lizzy goes to look after Jane. Miss Bingley + Hurst trash-talk Lizzy. Lizzy returns and reads. More boring discussion about stuff we can analyse ig. Stuff abt what an accomplished woman should be able to do (idk- prolly write an essay on NLMG). Lizzy leaves again and so they continue insulting her. | Gender roles Social class + snobbery Mrs Hurst: "I have an excessive regard for Jane Bennet, she is really a very sweet girl [...] But with such a father and mother, and such low connections, I am afraid there is no chance of it." She has relatives in "Cheapside"
Gender roles Bingley: "It is amazing to me [...] how young ladies can have patience to be so very accomplished, as they all are. [...] They all paint tables, cover skreens and net purses. I scarcely know any one who cannot do all this." Discussion on what an accomplished woman is, assistant: "A woman must have a thorough knowledge of music, singing, drawing, dancing, and the modern languages, to deserve the world [...] she must possess a certain something in her air and manner of walking, the tone of her voice, her address and expressions." p39
Love | Miss Bingley About Lizzy: "Miss Bingley began abusing her as soon as she was out of the room. Her manners were pronounced to be very bad indeed, a mixture of pride and impertinence; she had no conversation, no stile, no taste, no beauty."
Mrs Hurst Also abt Lizzy: "She has nothing, in short, to recommend her, but being an excellent walker... She really looked almost wild." p36
|
9 | Mrs Bennet + 2 youngest Bennets come to visit Jane (again- geez guys, she has a cold). Mrs Bennet is hyping up Jane (namesake of Austen... Interesting). Mrs Bennet and co leave. | Familial love is to marry off your kiddos Social class (abt Sir Lucas) Gender roles | Mrs Bennet- wants to marry her kiddos off Mrs Bennet about Jane Lydia |
10 | In drawing room. Darcy is writing- Miss Bingley is being a slimy suck-up. Darcy accuses Mr Bingley's humility of being boasting (... it is). They argue a bit. They're all being exceedingly boring in this chapter. | Pride ig? | |
11 | Lizzy + Jane and Mrs H+B in drawing room. Mr D + B come in- Miss Bingley is obvs trying to bag Mr D. They flirt by... walking. Lizzy + Darcy then flirt by talking about "defects" (romantic). | | Mrs Hurst and Miss Bingley Mr Darcy Mr Darcy + Lizzy Miss Bingley |
12 | Jane + Lizzy finally leave. Mr D doesn't want Lizzy to know he likes her (-being emo and all that). | | |
13 | Mr Collins sends letter that he will arrive at the Bennets. Mr Collins has patronage of Lady C de B. He arrives and is not a #feminist. Mr Collins will get the house after Mr Bennet dies cuz pAtRiArChY. | Gender Roles + Wealth and Money "my cousin, Mr. Collins, who, when I am dead, may turn you all out of this house as soon as he pleases". P60 "I do think it is the hardest thing in the world, that your estate should be entailed away from your own children" (abt Mr Collins have rights to house) p61 see p385. "his commendation of every thing would have touched Mrs/ Bennet's heart, but for the mortifying supposition of his viewing it all as his own future property." p64
| Mr Collins |
14 | Mr Bennet + Collins discuss Lady C de B. Does he like her?-- probably. Mr Collins is boasting. | Reputation Social class + snobbery | Lady Catherine De Bourgh |
15 | Mr Collins's backstory. Omg he wants to marry his second-nieces. Jesus. They all go on a walk. Lydia + Kitty meet officers- Mr Denny + Wickham. Mr Darcy and Mr Wickham aren't buddies. At Mrs Philips for dinner. | Marriage | Lydia + Catherine Bennet "Their eyes were immediately wandering up in the street in quest of the officer, and nothing less than a very smart bonnet indeed, or a really new muslin in a shop window, could recal them." p71
Mr Collins- Jesus he's too obsequious "altogether a mixture of pride and obsequiousness, self-importance and humility". The dude WILL NOT shut up about Lady C de B. "he had never met with so much attention in the whole course of his life"- abt Mrs Philips
|
16 | Dinner Mrs Philips's. Mr Wickham chatting it up with Lizzy. Mr W knew Mr D's dad who was apparently nice. He says Mr D took all his father's money- cutting Mr W out the will (and I oop-). Lady C de B is Darcy's aunt. | Pride Pride + Family According to Mr W, Mr D's pride "It has often led him to be liberal and general [...] Family pride, and filial pride, for his is very proud of what his father was, have done this. Not to appear to disgrace his family [...] or lose the influence of the Pemberley House, is a powerful motive." p80
Social class + snobbery (prejudice) | Mr Wickham "the agreeable manner in which he immediately fell into conversation, though it was only on its being a wet night"- p75. All style no substance. Abt Mr D "The world [...] sees him only as he chuses to be seen" p77- ironic as this is true for Mr W (he is deceitful)
Lydia |
17 | Lizzy tells Jane abt what Mr W said. Jane's a wet blanket Mr Bingley's ball is announced. Mr Collins likes Lizzy. | | Jane After hearing Mr W's lies abt Mr D "The possibility of his having really endured such unkindness, was enough to interest all her tender feelings; and nothing therefore remained to be done, but to think well of them both, to defend the conduct of each, and throw into the account of accident or mistake, whatever could not be otherwise explained" p84. Cut this down.
|
18 | At the Netherfield ball. Lizzy is looking for Mr W who isn't there cuz of his beef with Mr D. Instead, she dances with Mr C who's obvs a nightmare. Then with Mr D (though she hates him)- it's awks. Miss B says that Mr W was lying to Lizzy, this falls on deaf ears. Mr C, against Lizzy's advice, goes to talk to Mr D. Mrs Bennet is very chuffed about Jane + Mr Bingley. Mary is a painful tryhard as ever and sings badly. Lizzy is embarrassed by her family (she's better than them). They eave the party. | Gender roles Social class + Pride "it must belong to Mr. Darcy, the superior in consequence, to begin the acquaintance" p95 (of Mr C meeting Mr D) "I consider the clerical office as equal in point of dignity with the highest rank in the kingdom" Mr C- p95
Gender roles Pride Abt Mrs Bennet's being proud that Jane may marry Mr B, "She concluded with many good wishes that Lady Lucas might soon be equally fortunate, though evidently and triumphantly believing there was no chance of it." p97
Love Mrs Bennet's thoughts on Mr B, "His being such a charming young man, and so rich, and living but three miles from them" p97
| Mr Collins Him dancing: "awkward and solemn, apologising instead of attending, and often moving wrong without being aware of it." p89 "I consider the clerical office as equal in point of dignity with the highest rank in the kingdom" Mr C- p95
Elizabeth- socially aware Mary "such an opportunity of exhibiting was delightful to her" p98 "She [Lizzy] looked at her father to entreat his interference, les Mary should be singing all night" p98
|
19 | Mr C proposes to Lizzy. He lists why he wants to marry (to do list- romantic). Lizzy is like- uh... no. Mr C literally just doesn't believe her. | Marriage Mr C prepping to propose to Lizzy "he set about it in a very orderly manner, with all the observances which he supposed a regular part of the business" (i.e. Of getting married). P102 Lizzy's response to finding out Mr C wants to propose to her (he asks Mrs Bennet to leave them in private "Dear Ma'am, do not go.-- I beg you will not go." p102 Mr C, came to "selecting a wife" p103 Mr C: "I think it a right thing for every clergyman [...] to set the example of matrimony in his parish. Secondly, that I am convinced it will add very greatly to my happiness; and thirdly-- which perhaps I ought to have mentioned earlier, that it is the particular advice and recommendation of the very noble lady." (i.e. Lady C de B) P103. Cut down- about why 2 marry, order. Mr C assumes Lizzy will comply "no ungenerous reproach shall ever pass my lips when we are married." p104. Lizzy rejects him "You could not make me happy, and I am convinced that I am the last woman in the world who would make you so.". p105 Mr C ""When I do myself the honour of speaking to you next on this subject I shall hope to receive a more favourable answer than you have now given me" p105
Gender roles + marriage (ig) Mr C believes Lizzy is being coy in her denial of his proposal- deceiving him to lure him further (spoiler- she isn't) he says this "would be consistent with the true delicacy of the female character." p105 nOt LiKe oThEr gOrLs "Do not consider me now as an elegant female intending to plague you, but as a rational creature speaking the truth from her heart." p106 ooo the glossary
Marriage + social class (pride) Mr C "It does not appear to me that my hand is unworthy your acceptance [...] My situation in life, my connections with the family of De Bourgh, and my relationship to your own, are circumstances highly in my favour" Also "it is by no means certain that another offer of marriage may ever be made you. Your portion is unhappily so small that it will in all likelihood undo the effects of your loveliness and amiable qualications. As I must therefore conclude that you are not serious in your rejection of me." p106

Gender roles + marriage Family | Mrs Bennet Mr Bennet "calm unconcern" p109 "Your mother will never see you again if you do not marry Mr. Collins, and I will never see you again if you do." p110 "People who suffer as I do from nervous complaints can have no great inclination for talking. Nobody can tell what I suffer!-- But it is always so." p111
|
21 | Bennet girls walk to Meryton to find Mr W. Mr W tells them he didn't party cuz of Mr D. A letter arrives to Jane from Miss Bingley saying they've left Netherfield as Mr B has business. Miss B (stone-hearted snake) wants Mr B to marry Georgiana Darcy- not Jane. | Social class + snobbery Lizzo explaining why Miss B wants Mr B to marry Miss D "We are not rich enough, or grand enough for them [...] when there has been one intermarriage, she may have less trouble in achieving a second." p116

22 | Bennets dining with Lucases. Charlotte is chatting with Mr C, Lizzo thinks this is to keep him away from her. But no!-- Mr C is getting with Charlotte (this is like love island but with less bikinis and somehow less misogyny). | Marriage "I am not romantic you know. I never was. I ask only a comfortable home; and considering Mr. Collins's character, connections, and situation in life, I am convinced that my chance of happiness with him is as fair, as most people can boast on entering the marriage state." Charlotte p123
| Lizzy Charlotte "I am not romantic you know. I never was. I ask only a comfortable home; and considering Mr. Collins's character, connections, and situation in life, I am convinced that my chance of happiness with him is as fair, as most people can boast on entering the marriage state." Charlotte p123
|
23 | Bennets together. Sir Lucas announces Charlotte's engagement. Mrs Bennet freaks out. Liesel is upset. Bingley's are still M.I.A. | Prejudice?

| Sir Lucas Mrs Bennet "A week elapsed before she could see Elizabeth without scolding her, a month passed away before she could speak to Sir William or Lady Lucas without being rude, and many months were gone before she could at all forgive their daughter." p125 "Mrs Bennet's sour looks and ill-natured remarks might have been enough to drive happiness away."
Jane |
24 (1) | Miss B writes letter affirming the Bingley's are settled in London. Lesley is obvs mad. Jane is just such a sweetheart (and a wet mop but still). They all talk too much. | Familial love Reputation Prejudice Prejudice against non-Wollstonecraft ideal women abt Charlotte "you [Jane] must feel [...] that the woman who marries him [Mr C], cannot have a proper way of thinking. You shall not defend her [...] You shall not [...] change meaning of principle and integrity, nor endeavour to persuade yourself or me, that selfishness is prudence, and insensibility of danger, security for happiness."p133 Lizzy
Pride Familial love + social class 'n' snobbery Love Mr Bennet "Next to being married, a girl likes to be crossed in a love a little now and then. It is something to think of, and givers her a sort of distinction among her companions." p135 "He [Wickham] is a pleasant fellow, and would jilt you creditably."
| Lizzy Mr B Jane "He will be forgot, and we shall all be as we were before." p132 "I have this comfort immediately, that it has not been more than an error of fancy on my side, and that it has done no harm to any one but myself." p132 "My dear Jane!" exclaimed Elizabeth, "you are too good. Your sweetness and disinterestedness are really angelic [...] I feel as if I had never done you justice, or loved you as you deserve." p132ish "Miss Bennet was the only creature who could suppose there might be any extenuating circumstances in the case [...] her mild and steady candour always pleaded for allowances, and urged the possibility of mistakes" p136
Lizzy "There are few people whom I really love, and still fewer of whom I think well." p133 "every day confirms my belief of the inconsistency of all human characters, and of the little dependence that can be placed on the appearance of either merit or sense." Lizzy- cuz Mr C's marriage + no Mr B p133 abt Charlotte "you [Jane] must feel [...] that the woman who marries him [Mr C], cannot have a proper way of thinking. You shall not defend her [...] You shall not [...] change meaning of principle and integrity, nor endeavour to persuade yourself or me, that selfishness is prudence, and insensibility of danger, security for happiness."p133
Mr Bennet |
25 (2) | Mr C, in love with Charlotte after all but like a week, leaves (thank jesus). Mr Gardiner (Mrs Bennet's brother)+ wife come to stay. Mrs Gardiner seems to corroborate Mr W's lies abt Mr D- saying she recollected he was proud and ill-natured (- guys it's just because he's an emo). | Social class Gender roles | Mr Gardiner "sensible, gentlemanlike man, greatly superior to his sister as well by nature as education."p137 "The Netherfield ladies would have had difficulty in believing that a man who lived by trade, and within view of his own warehouses, could ahve been so well bred and agreeable." p137
|
26 (3) | Mrs Gardiner warns Liza against Mr W. Mr C returns (oh brilliant- him again). Wedding takes place. Jane is in London with Mrs G but Miss B prevents her seeing Mr B.

Mr Wickham has turned his attentions away from Lez. | Love + wealth and money "if he had the fortune he ought to have, I should think you could not do better. But as it is-- you must not let your fancy run away with you." p142 "we see every day that where there is affection, young people are seldom withheld by immediate want of fortune" p143
Family Social class + prejudice Wealth + love "The sudden acquisition of ten thousand pounds was the most remarkable charm of the young lady to whom he was now rendering himself agreeable" p147 "the mortifying conviction that handsome young men must have something to live on, as well as the plain." p148

29 (6) | At Lady C de B's for dinner. Mr C is just intolerable. Lady C de B talks a LOT. They chat about education (fun) and how girls should be raised. With all this anti-feminism and rude old people, I'm having dreadful flashbacks to dinner parties at my grandparents. | Snobbery Wealth "Sir William was so completely awed, by the grandeur surrounding him, that he had but just courage enough to make a very low bow, and take his seat without saying a word" p159
Social class + wealth "whatever she said, was spoken in so authoritative a tone, as marked her self-importance" p150 "delivering her opinion on every subject in so decisive a manner as proved that she was not used to have her judgment controverted." p160 "Elizabeth felt all the impertinence of her questions, but answered them very composedly" p160
Gender roles "I see no occasion for entailing estates from the female line-- It was not thought necessary in Sir Lewis de Bourgh's family." p162 "you ought all to have learned [music]. [...] Your mother should have taken you to town every spring for the benefit of masters [art study] [...] No governess! How was that possible?" p161 ""No governess! How was that possible? [...] Your mother must have been quite a slave to your education." p161 Lizzy "We were always encourages to read, and had all the masters that were necessary. Those who chose to be idle, certainly might [have a neglected education]" p161 "I always say that nothing is to be done in education without steady and regular instruction, and nobody but a governess can give it." p161-2 "What, all five [Bennets] out at once? Very odd!" p162 "I think it would be very hard upon younger sisters, that they should not have their share of society and amusement because the elder may not have the means or inclination to marry early." p162
| Lady C de B ig Sir William Lucas "Sir William was so completely awed, by the grandeur surrounding him, that he had but just courage enough to make a very low bow, and take his seat without saying a word" p159

All the education + kids being "out" thing |
30 (7) | Sir Lucas leaves Hunsford. To my dismay, Lizzo does not so I'm still stuck reading about it. Lady C de B is a girlboss. Mr Darcy is coming to Rosings (oh god). | Gender roles "She was a most active magistrate [NOT official term!!!] in her own parish […] whenever any of the cottagers were disposed to be quarrelsome, discontented or too poor, the sallied forth into the village to settle their differences, silence their complaints, and scold them into harmony and plenty." p165

32 (9) | Mr D comes to Hunsford, he chats with Lizzy then leaves. Charlotte + Maria arrive- chat about whether Mr D likes Lizzy. | Marriage | |
33 | Liesel goes for a walk in the Park and Mr D seems to like constantly show up (*stalker*). She meets Colonel Fitzwilliam. He says that he thinks Mr D helped save Mr B from an "imprudent marriage"- she assumes this is Jane + Mr B. Lizli is v. upset. | Pride+ reputation? Lizzy "he [Mr D] was the cause, his pride and caprice were the cause of all that Jane had suffered, and still continued to suffer. He had ruined for a while every hope of happiness for the most affectionate, generous heart in the world; and no one could say how lasting an evil he might have inflicted." p182 "she [Lizzy] was quite decided at last, that he had been partly governed by this worst kind of pride, and partly by the wish of retaining Mr. Bingley for his sister." p182
| Mr Darcy "I do not know any body who seems more to enjoy the power of doing what he likes than Mr. Darcy." p179 Lizzy "Mr. Darcy is uncommonly kind to Mr. Bingley, and takes a prodigious deal of care of him" p180 Lizzy "he [Mr D] was the cause, his pride and caprice were the cause of all that Jane had suffered, and still continued to suffer. He had ruined for a while every hope of happiness for the most affectionate, generous heart in the world; and no one could say how lasting an evil he might have inflicted." p182 "she [Lizzy] was quite decided at last, that he had been partly governed by this worst kind of pride, and partly by the wish of retaining Mr. Bingley for his sister." p182

Like foil to Charlotte (look at me using Eng Lang words!). | Love Prejudice? + pride Lizzy "Why with so evident a design of offending and insulting me, you chose to tell me that you like me against your will, against your reason, and even against your character?" p186
Familial love Prejudice + social class (pride) Love Lizzy won't marry him cuz "But his pride, his abominable pride" despite "that he should have been in love with her for so many months! So m uch in love as to wish to marry her in spite of all the objection which had made him prevent his friend's marrying her sister [...] was almost incredible!" p189
| Mr Darcy "In vain have I struggled. It will not do. My feeling will not be repressed. You must allow me to tell you how ardently I admire and love you." p185 Mr D abt his feelings that Lizzy was inferior "They were natural and just. Could you expect me to rejoice in the inferiority of your connections? To congratulate myself on the hope of relations, who condition in life is so decidedly beneath my own" p188
Lizzy "Why with so evident a design of offending and insulting me, you chose to tell me that you like me against your will, against your reason, and even against your character?" p186 "do you think that any consideration would tempt me to accept the man, who has been the means of ruining, perhaps for ever the happiness of a most beloved sister?" p186 Lizzy won't marry him cuz "But his pride, his abominable pride" despite "that he should have been in love with her for so many months! So m uch in love as to wish to marry her in spite of all the objection which had made him prevent his friend's marrying her sister [...] was almost incredible!" p189
|
35 (12) | Liz is walking and she meets Mr D who gives her a letter. He explains his actions with Jane (believing her to be indifferent to Bingley) and refutes Mr W's claims- saying he kept asking for money and then tried to seduce his sister to get the money. | There's a LOT to analyse, but we can go back and do it later Lots to do with reputation Family love + reputation | Mr W Mr D |
36 | Lizlo reads Mr D's letter: she's mad abt the Jane bit but she begins to believe abt Wickham. She is ashamed at her prejudice against Mr D and her vanity. | Prejudice "With amazement did she first understand that he believed any apology to be in his power; and stedfastly was she persuaded that he could have no explanation to give, which a just sense of shame would not conceal. P198 "She was now struck with the impropriety of such communications to a stranger [Mr W], and wondered it had escaped her before." p200 "she had never, in the whole course of their acquaintance [...] seen any thing that betrayed him to be unprincipled or unjust- any thing that spoke him or irreligious or immoral habits," p201 "She grew absolutely ashamed of herself. [...] she had been blind, partial, prejudiced, absurd. "How despicably have I acted!" she cried." p201
Pride + Prejudice (aaaa) "But vanity, not love, has been my folly.-- Pleased with the preference of one, and offended by the neglect of the other [..] I have courted prepossession and ignorance, and driven reason away, where either were concerned. Till this moment, I never knew myself." p202
Reputation "The extravagance and general profligacy which he scrupled not to lay to Mr. Wickham's charge, exceedingly shocked her" p199 "She [Lizzy] tried to recollect some instances of goodness, some distinguished trait of integrity or benevolence [...]. But no such recollection befriended her." p200 "His countenance, voice, and manner, had established him at once in the possession of every virtue." p200
