Lady Catherine objects to Elizabeth's family because of their want of fortune and their want of connections, especially on the side of Elizabeth's mother, whose family is in trade and law. She finally objects because of Lydia's scandalous elopement, which was only patched up into a marriage at great expense to her uncle.

Describe Elizabeths first visit to Rosings How doe she handle Lady Catherine de Bourgh?

She treats Lady Catherine with the respect properly due an older woman with a higher social rank, but without the awe some other people, notably Mr. Collins, seemed to have. She treats Lady Catherine fearlessly, as a person not intellectually or morally superior to herself, a fact that probably irked Lady Catherine at least a bit.


Lady Catherine embarrasses darcy by either saying elizabeth can practice on the pianoforte in the servants room or by insulting elizabeths family?

Actually, both. Lady Catherine is at least as embarassing to Darcy as Mrs. Bennet is to Lizzy. Everything that comes out of Lady Catherine's mouth is embarassing in one way or another. My personal favorite is when she says Anne would have been a great proficient at music if her health had allowed it. My bet is that Anne was a great proficient, but Lady Catherine could not stand the fact that her daughter played bagpipes and threatened to cut her out of her will if she didn't keep quiet.


What can you conclude about elizabeths character from her response to lady catherine?

Elizabeth's character can be seen as independent, confident, and assertive based on her response to Lady Catherine. She stands up for herself and does not allow herself to be intimidated or swayed by Lady Catherine's imposing presence. Elizabeth's strong-willed nature is evident in her refusal to yield to societal conventions or bow down to someone of higher social status.

In what way is elizabeths reaction to lady Catherine different that mrcollins?

Their reactions could not be more different. To Mr Collins, Lady Catherine is practically a saint - she is right about everything, and he feels incredibly fortunate to have secured her patronage as she is both rich and of a high social rank. To Elizabeth, however, she is disagreeable, snobbish and arrogant, with no superior qualities apart from wealth (to which Elizabeth attaches very little importance) to justify her high opinion of herself.
