Best Answer

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.

Why does Lady Catherine cross examine Elizabeth?

Lady Catherine has cherished the hope that Darcy would marry her own daughter, Anne, for Anne's entire life. When she heard that Darcy might have proposed to Elizabeth, she wanted to find out the truth of the matter, and prevent a marriage between Elizabeth and Darcy. So she confronted Elizabeth on the subject.

Why is Elizabeth prejudiced against Mr Darcy?

Darcy is very wealthy, highly educated, and very well connected. He comes from an important family with ties to the upper aristocracy. By contrast, Elizabeth's family is not wealthy, she has no dowry at all, she is entirely self educated, and has no connections to speak of. Her ties to the gentry are to the least important, and her ties to the middle class are far more important. Another issue is that Elizabeth's family has people in it who are unable to act with proper decorum, including her mother, and three of her younger sisters. We might speculate that Darcy came to understand that Elizabeth's mother differed from Lady Catherine primarily in the fact that Lady Catherine had lots of money, and Mrs Bennet had none to speak of.


In Pride and Prejudice - what are the ages of bennet sisters?

Jane Bennett is 22 at the beginning of the novel. Elizabeth is "not yet one and twenty" (20). Kitty's age is somewhere between Elizabeth's and Kitty's, probably about 18. Kitty is 17 and Lydia is "but just turned 15." The novel covers more than a year, but these ages come from Elizabeth's conversation with Lady Catherine (about the middle of the novel).
