Mr Darcy is very proud, and does not want to admit his feelings for Lizzy, and she does the same. Also, Mr Darcy's aunt is extrememly opposed to their marriage, as she has arranged nuptials between her daughter, Anne, and Mr Darcy when they were children. Add to this the fact that Lizzy is of quite low birth compared to Fitzwilliam Darcy and you have a cocktail of awkwardness.

What happens at the end of Pride and Prejudice?

Lizzie marries Darcy, and Jane marries Bingley. We learn a little about what happens with other characters, as well. Bingley and Jane buy an estate near Pemberley. Lizzy and Georgiana become very close. Lydia and Wickham get bored with each other. Kitty moves to Pemberley and improves greatly, but Mary stays home. The Gardiners become Darcy's favorite relatives. And, believe it or not, though Lady Catherine has a fit and refuses to talk with the Darcys, Lizzy gets Darcy to reestablish the relationship with patience and perseverance.


Why does Elizabeth feel she will never see Mr Darcy again when she told him about Lydia's elopement with Wickham in Pride and Prejudice?

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. She regards the attraction Darcy has for her as probaby very weak to begin with. Lydia's elopement, in her view, is just a final straw.


What does Lady Catherine say about the Bennet family in Pride and Prejudice?

Lady Catherine says any marriage between Darcy and Elizabeth would be a disgrace. By way of explanation, she points out that though Darcy and Lizzy are technically in the same social class (a gentleman and a gentleman's daughter), her connections are with the families of people in trade and attorneys (where his are with families of elevated rank). She also points out that the Bennets have a serious scandal associated with their family.

What is the prejudice part in the Pride and Prejudice?

Lizzy is prejudiced against Darcy, and she is prejudiced in favor of Wickham. Her first contact with Darcy includes overhearing something he says about her in an unguarded moment, and it colors her entire attitude toward him. It is only when she reads his letter at Hunsford that she realizes the evidence that Wickham is untruthful has been in front of her all along. It takes Darcy's finding Lydia and arranging her marriage for Lizzy to see his goodness.

Some people think of the pride as being Darcy's attitude about his family and his position in society.

How darcy show prejudice in Pride and Prejudice?

Darcy's shows his prejudice against the lower class. He treats them with ill respect and as my mother demonstrated to me, he shows this disrespect to Lizzy. When he asks her to marry her first, he says some rather rude and degrading things. He came in without any doubt that he would refuse her because its a privedged to be loved by him- and through this, his prejudice is shown. Read the first proposal of marraige he makes her for more clarity.
