Mrs. Gardiner advised Elizabeth Bennet, the second eldest sister, against pursuing a romantic relationship with George Wickham in Jane Austen's novel Pride and Prejudice. She warned Elizabeth about Wickham's reputation and lack of good character.
Mrs. Gardiner and Wickham are both characters in Jane Austen's novel "Pride and Prejudice." They are related through marriage as Mrs. Gardiner is Wickham's aunt. Additionally, both characters play roles in the social dynamics of the story, with Mrs. Gardiner providing guidance and support to Elizabeth Bennet, while Wickham causes trouble through his deceitful actions.
Mrs. Gardiner objects to Wickham because she knows that he is not a trustworthy or honorable person. She has heard unfavorable information about him from Mr. Darcy and is aware of his previous deceitful behavior. Mrs. Gardiner is concerned about Wickham's intentions, especially given his history with the Darcy family.
Lydia and Wickham are found living together, unmarried and with no intention of marrying, in London. At first we are to believe Mr. Gardiner found them. Later, we find out it was Darcy.
Mrs. Gardiner sent Elizabeth the details in a letter.
Mrs. Gardiner is concerned that Elizabeth might fall in love with Wickham because neither has any money, and neither have any great inheritance coming. The result of this is if they married, they would have to live on Wickham's income from the army, which would probably not be very great. The result would be that they would have to live much more frugally than Elizabeth had ever done.
Perhaps the best term for the relationship between Darcy and Wickham is mutual antipathy. Each has feelings of dislike and distrust for the other, Darcy because of what Wickham has tried to do, and Wickham because of what Darcy might do if provoked. Wickham is afraid Darcy might reveal he is a fortune hunter. Darcy is angry that Wickham had once tried to elope with his sister.
