Pride and Prejudice

We are not told why Mrs. Bennet married. Mr. Bennet certainly did not marry for money, as his wife did not have much. He married her because she was good looking, high spirited, and appealingly silly. He clearly regretted this and lost affection for her.

Mr. Collins

Charlotte marries Mr. Collins because she is twenty-seven (this is old for an unmarried woman at the time), and therefore, may not get another offer if she does not accept him. Although she is not in love with him, she knows he can offer her a stable future, with a comfortable home and income, making it a respectable match.

Pride and Prejudice is Elizabeth Bennet and Mr. Darcy's love story. When they first meet, Darcy insults her and without his knowing, she overhears. From then on every time they meet they argue, but Darcy falls in love with Elizabeth. On the other hand, she absolutley loathes him. He proposes and she refuses. When they meet again, he does everything he can to show her how changed he is. Just when Elizabeth might be falling for Darcy, a family emergency calls her away. He secretly solves the problem, but Elizabeth finds out. When they finally see each other again, he proposes for the second time, and she accepts and they live happily ever after!

I love the Pemberly Chapter and Darcy's Proposal.... sorry i can't remember the exact chapters

its an old book nobody except English majors enjoy reading that is written in a language people in the present day can hardly understand

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.

Politely, nicely but without displaying any attachment whatsoever.

Darcy spends most of the proposal dwelling on how her family and her connections in life were not as good as his own and it was a shame that he was in love with her and not someone with a better social ranking such as his own.

Darcy proposes twice in Pride and Prejudice. The first proposal is arrogant and self deluded, and when Darcy realizes Elizabeth will turn him down, he gets resentful and argumentative. This does not endear him to her, to say the least.

His second proposal is relaxed and unassuming. It is also successful.

Lydia's marriage separates Lydia from Kitty, ending her bad influence. With Lizzy's marriage, Kitty moves to Pemberly and is exposed to much better manners and education among the people with whom she associates; she benefits greatly from this.

Elizabeth and the Gardiners plan to go to tour the Lake District, which is a particularly beautiful part of England. When it comes to the event, however, the trip has to be cut short, so they only go so far as the Peak District, which is another particularly beautiful part of England and, more important to the plot of the book, where Mr. Darcy's estate is located.

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.

Mr. Collins.

I should think that Lydia would qualify as foolish as well, and in her own way, so was Charlotte Lucas.

Her feelings towards him began to change because she realized just how wrong she was about him. Everything that she had once thought was true about him was actually wrong. His pride was well deserved and all his dealings with Wickham had be just and fair.

NO i met Emily grace reaves and i asked her and she said no are family's are just very very close

Lizzy was intelligent, witty, charming, prejudiced, and a little self deluded. She did not think highly of many people, and expected most people to have faults and failures, which she enjoyed observing to some degree. She appreciated her sister Jane's sweet tempered expectation of good in everyone, but could not bring herself to emulate it. She was willing to understand her own faults, when they were brought to her attention, and so was able to change and grow.

Elizabeth was offended by Mr. Darcy at the Merryton Ball because she felt he was acting snobbish by refusing to dance with any of the ladies at the ball. Also, he made a comment to Mr. Bingley which Elizabeth overheard in which he basically said she was plain and that Jane was more attractive.

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.

In the 1995 movie the sisters were played by:Susannah Harker as Jane Bennet ,Julia Sawalha as Lydia Bennet ,Polly Maberly as Kitty Bennet and Lucy Briers as Mary Bennet.

In the 2005 movie the sisters were played by:Rosamund Pike as Jane Bennet,Jena Malone as Lydia Bennet, Carey Mulligan as Kitty Bennet and Talulah Riley as Mary Bennet.

She says she wants to thank, him on behalf of her family, who do not know, for the help he has given Lydia.

He says it was for her, not her family (though he respects them), and that his hopes and wishes in regards to her have not changed, by which he means to say he wants to marry her.

She says her views on the subject (marriage to him) have changed completely, by which she means she is accepting.

They then talk of their experiences with each other, and some of the other people in the book, and their thoughts about those experiences. They have both learned to understand themselves better, and they had made mistakes.

Charlotte didn't really attract Mr. Collins by doing anything so much as being present and in need of a husband. Mr, Collins had gone to Hertfordshire with the idea of getting married, and when he was turned down by Lizzy felt the rejection enough to welcome a change of scenery. Charlotte was agreeable, and that was all he needed.

He gives her different bits of advice, but the most important is to rethink her engagement to Darcy.

They feel that she is far too enterprising. She is too active, and too stubborn. She is not at all ladylike and has many rude tendencies. Their opinion of her is blatantly obvious when she arrives at Netherfield to see Jane and her petticoat is six inches deep in mud. Caroline and Louisa cannot believe that she has walked such a distance alone and in such weather. They think that she is a crass example of all that is wrong with country breeding.
