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.

If Lydia marries Wickham, then Elizabeth will be closely related to a man Darcy detests. If Lydia fails to marry Wickham, then Elizabeth will be a member of a disgraced family. Either way a connection between Darcy and Elizabeth is also a connection between Darcy and a scandal. Lizzy is already aware of the enormous differences between her situation and Darcy's. She is poor and he is rich. In England of the time, that was regarded as a reason for them not to be married, because marriage was a way to form alliances and increase wealth. Darcy has commented on this. Her family is not well bred by Darcy's standards, and Darcy has commented on this also. She has already turned down a marriage proposal by Darcy, and rather angrily.
