What passes between darcy and wickham?

Darcy and Wickham had history. They had been raised together, and Darcy learned to distrust Wickham because of his bad habits, such as gambling. Wickham was to inherit a position on Darcy's estate, but asked to take money instead, which he was given. After he gambled this away, he came back for more, which was refused. He then tried to elope with Darcy's sister, and almost succeeded. In the book, they clearly do not want to be near each other. Wickham tells lies to Elizabeth and others about their connection, and Elizabeth takes sides without close examination of the truth. Later, when Darcy has reason to defend his honor on the subject, he sets the record straight, convincing Elizabeth of the truth. When Wickham elopes with Elizabeth's sister, Lydia, Darcy hunts them down and bribes Wickham to marry her for the sake of the honor of the family, to ease Elizabeth's pain on the subject. This is expensive, as it means purchasing an army commission, paying off Wickham's debts, and providing some amount of cash.


Why does everyone adopt a low opinion of darcy in Pride and Prejudice?

From the very beginning, Darcy proves himself to be conceited and rude. He takes his social status very seriously and seems to look down on those who are less wealthy than him. As the book continues, Elizabeth (with whom the reader is meant to identify with most) dislikes Darcy more and more. He personally insults her many times by saying that she is not pretty enough for him and, even when he proposes to her for the first time, he points out that he is too far above her in terms of social status for them to be compatible. Most of the people in Hertfordshire (where Meryton, Longbourn, and Netherfield are) start to dislike Darcy once Wickham spreads rumors about Darcy unjustly denying Wickham the money that Darcy's father left for Wickham when he died. Darcy later tells Elizabeth the truth, that Wickham was trying to take more money than was left to him, but Elizabeth never tells any else. So, many people continue to think of Darcy as a bad person. However, not everyone has a low opinion of Darcy. He is very close to his younger sister, Georgiana. He is also very close to his friend Bingley, who stands up for Darcy when others criticize him. Mrs. Reynolds, the woman who looks after Darcy's estate in Pemberly, says very kind things about Darcy to Elizabeth and her aunt and uncle and seems quite fond of him. Miss Bingley is almost obsessed with Darcy, though that may be more for his status and money than for his personality, because he is rude to her throughout the book. Darcy's aunt.

What page was mr. darcy's proposal in Pride and Prejudice?

In my volume of Pride and Prejudice, Darcy's first, unsuccessful, proposal begins on page 145, of the 298 pages in the novel. It will be different in different editions, but clearly this is only slightly less than half way through. It takes up almost the whole of chapter XI of volume II. Another edition I have has it on page 113 of 236, and the chapter is listed as chapter 34.

What is the conclusion of Pride and Prejudice?

When Mr Darcy tells Elizabeth he loves her and proposes to her the first time because this leads to the resolution of the letter which explains the conflict between Wickham and his involvement with Mr Bingley and Jane. Lydia running off with Wickham is more of a subplot of the story.
