Mr Bennet is unhappy because Elizabeth has accepted Darcy's proposal. Mr Bennet believes that Elizabeth dislikes Darcy intensely, and cannot imagine any reason she would accept the proposal except a desire to get wealthy. He believes there has been a lapse of judgment on Elizabeth's part, which she would quickly regret, if she married Darcy.

Quotes by elizabeth bennet from Pride and Prejudice?

Elizabeth Bennet: Do these pleasing attentions proceed from the impulse of the moment, or are they the result of previous study? Mr. Collins: They arise chiefly from what is passing of the time. And though I do sometimes amuse myself with arranging such little elegant compliments, I always wish to give them as unstudied an air as possible. Elizabeth Bennet: Oh, believe me, no one would suspect your manners to be rehearsed. Mr. Darcy: I thought that poetry was the food of love. Elizabeth Bennet: Of a fine stout love, it may. But if it is only a vague inclination I'm convinced one poor sonnet will kill it stone dead Mr. Darcy: How are you this evening, my dear? Elizabeth Bennet: Very well... although I wish you would not call me "my dear." Mr. Darcy: [chuckles] Why? Elizabeth Bennet: Because it's what my father always calls my mother when he's cross about something. Mr. Darcy: What endearments am I allowed? Elizabeth Bennet: Well let me think..."Lizzie" for every day, "My Pearl" for Sundays, and..."Goddess Divine"... but only on *very* special occasions. Mr. Darcy: And... what should I call you when I am cross? Mrs. Darcy...? Elizabeth Bennet: No! No. You may only call me "Mrs. Darcy"... when you are completely, and perfectly, and incandescently happy. Mr. Darcy: [he snickers] Then how are you this evening... Mrs. Darcy? Would you consider pride a fault or a virtue Mr. Darcy?

How does Mrs Bennet react to the news of Lydia's elopement?

Um, no. Although Mrs. Bennet is pretty stupid, this distressed her a lot. A daughter being part of something considered so scandalous could (and would have been, had Lydia not been 'rescued' by Mr. Darcy) be the ruin of the family's good name and reputation, at least certainly damage it considerably. Especially since it didn't end up that Wickham's intention was marriage at all--once the deal was finally sealed, though, Mrs. Bennet, ever changeable and shallow, was thrilled at having her just-16-year-old daughter married.
