In his letter to Elizabeth, Darcy addresses the accusations of him being arrogant, prideful, and responsible for Bingley's separation from Jane. He explains that his reserved nature may have been misunderstood, admits his past mistakes, and provides evidence to disprove the accusations against him, particularly in regard to Bingley and Jane's situation. Darcy also expresses his genuine feelings for Elizabeth and hopes for her forgiveness.
Darcy gave Elizabeth a letter the morning after he had proposed, and she refused, at Hunsford, in Kent. The purpose of the letter was to defend himself from the accusations she had made against him as she rejected him.
Initially, Mr. Darcy responds to Elizabeth's refusal by expressing his surprise and disappointment. He then goes on to provide a letter explaining his actions and feelings in an attempt to justify himself and win back her affections.
