Why does Mr Wickhams attention to Elizabeth cool?
Wickham is a fortune hunter, a man who is looking for a woman who can supply him with money. Elizabeth cannot provide this, so he has to look elsewhere. He is attracted to Elizabeth at least partly, we would believe, because Elizabeth is a pretty, lively, and intelligent young woman. The problem he has with her is that she has very little money, so she is not a suitable match. Still, being friendly with her has the advantage of giving him greater access to society. He quickly attaches himself to Mary King. She is a possible mate because she has ten thousand pounds. This is enough money to provide a living, though not enough for him to afford a carriage. Elizabeth finds out in the middle of the novel that Wickham has tried to elope with Mr. Darcy's sister, Georgiana, who has a fortune of thirty thousand pounds. Subsequent conversations between her and Wickham reveal more and more of what she knows of him. This causes him to become more and more separated form her. When his affair with Lydia has gone through the elopement and marriage, and Wickham and Elizabeth are brought together once more, it becomes obvious to him that she knows all about him, and he seems no longer interested in talking with her. His elopement had been done, the book says, without any intention of marriage. Clearly, his intention was to leave Lydia and find someone like Mary King, with money, but the price was paid by Darcy for him to marry Lydia.
