Darcy proposed to Elizabeth for the first time.
Lydia's trip to Brighton, then came Lizzie's own trip.
Mr. Darcy proposes to Elizabeth twice. The first time, at Hunsford, his proposal is long winded, arrogant, and insulting. Elizabeth, who has already come to regard him as conceited and unpleasant, is not particularly impressed and turns him down. Darcy's second proposal is simple, unassuming, and short. This time he is successful, but that is mostly because Elizabeth has gained a much better understanding of him.
Darcy likes Elizabeth, and this moment is the first time they touch skin-to-skin. When he flexes his hand, this is his reaction to the exciting jolt he felt when their hands touched.
When Jane asks this, Elizabeth says she really cannot say, except that it might be when she first saw Pemberly. The idea that it started with seeing Pemberly is, of course, a joke. As a reader, I get the impression that the beginning dates to her reading of the letter from Darcy, which tells her not only that she has been mistaken about Wickham, but that she has also been mistaken about Darcy.
Mr Darcy proposes to Elizabeth for the first time in Chapter 34, however, he does this with all of his pride. The condescension he poses upon Elizabeth through his proposal angers her and so she refuses, giving him a long list of why. However, Mr Darcy then writes a letter explaining his reasons for all of the things he did that caused Elizabeth to refuse his hand in marriage. Eventually, Elizabeth starts to feel something for Darcy and, after he proves how much Elizabeth means to him, when he proposes for the second time, I believe, in chapter 44, Elizabeth gratefully accepts.
Darcy is mainly the proud character, however we see some of it in Elizabeth at the beginning when she is hurt by Darcy's comment, as if she wasn't proud it wouldn't have affected her. And Prejudice can be seen in her as she counts everything Darcy does as faults as she is blinded by her prejudice...
She was proposed to three times. First by Mr. Collins, whom she refused. Secondly by Mr. Darcy, whom she intially also refused. And the third time she was proposed to by Darcy again, whom she accepted. =)
Pride and Prejudice is Elizabeth Bennet and Mr. Darcy's love story. When they first meet, Darcy insults her and without his knowing, she overhears. From then on every time they meet they argue, but Darcy falls in love with Elizabeth. On the other hand, she absolutley loathes him. He proposes and she refuses. When they meet again, he does everything he can to show her how changed he is. Just when Elizabeth might be falling for Darcy, a family emergency calls her away. He secretly solves the problem, but Elizabeth finds out. When they finally see each other again, he proposes for the second time, and she accepts and they live happily ever after!
For most of the book, Elizabeth dislikes Darcy, thinks he is proud and arrogant, believes that he treated Wickham shamefully. Added to this is the information that she gets that Darcy tried to separate Jane from Bingley. Darcy, meanwhile, has fallen in love with Elizabeth and cannot get her out of his mind. The time comes when Elizabeth sees she is wrong, and then she falls in love with Darcy. She is afraid her refusal of his proposal has doomed any chance of a relationship. When that turns out to be wrong, she is afraid that Lydia's elopement has ruined her chances. In the end, of course, they marry.
In "Pride and Prejudice," the arrival of Mr. Bingley in Netherfield is one of the first major events, which sets the story in motion. This is followed by the Meryton ball where Mr. Darcy and Elizabeth Bennet first meet and form their initial perceptions of each other.
Mr. Darcy and Elizabeth get engaged in Chapter 59 of Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice.
