Pride and Prejudice

The governess was a Mrs. Younge, who happened to be a friend of Wickham.

Elizabeth learns that Mr. Darcy isn't as cold-hearted and prejudiced as she, and most everyone else, believed he was.

These are two different Jane Austen novels we're talking about: Pride and Prejudice - Mr Darcy is proud; Elizabeth Bennet is prejudiced. Sense and Sensibility - Eleanor Dashwood has sense; Marianne Dashwood has sensibility.

She and Wickham had been living together in London. If they returned home unmarried it would be a disgrace.

Pride and Prejudice presents several different types of women.

Lizzy, the main character, is a smart girl who refuses to marry for money.

Pride and Prejudice presents the main character as an independent woman who makes her own decisions.

Yes why not. Only manly men/boys can handle romantic movies.

Elizabeth told Darcy that she didn't want to marry him

Although clearly much of the blame lies with Lydia (her flight and indecorous attitude are her own!) and Wickham (his own lack of thought and morals) some people, and characters in the books believe that much of the blame lies elsewhere.

Mr Bennet's lack of interest in his daughters life alongside the lack of discipline shown by both parents is a strong indication that Lydia was given a free hand to form her own personality and morals without any guidance from him. Combined with Mrs Bennet's own behaviour, it is clear that Lydia and her mother are very similar in some ways, and that Lydia was rarely constrained and made to consider the bigger picture or taught to think about the consequences of her attitude- even with Kitty, her own favourite sister, she is uncaring and always puts her own happiness first.

Obsequious

Mr Darcy because his character is soo misunderstood and only Elizabeth brings out the good in him.

Charles Bingley

Wickham is after her money. Miss King is the only available woman in Meryton who has any money. She has just inherited 10,000 pounds.

He owed a large sum of money due to gambling losses.

Lady Catherine

This is because when he proposed to Elizabeth, he was sure that she was going to accept him. But when she refused him, he understood the error of his ways and tried to change for the better.

As it is personal and private information, it is inappropriate to comment on someone's sexual activity without their consent. Privacy should be respected.

The narrator in "Pride and Prejudice" portrays marriage as a complex social institution influenced by personal feelings, social status, and societal expectations. The characters navigate through challenges, misunderstandings, and societal pressures in their pursuit of happiness and love, which highlights the narrator's view of marriage as a nuanced and dynamic aspect of life.

Jane Bennet is not typically portrayed as unhappy in Jane Austen's novel "Pride and Prejudice." She is depicted as kind, gentle, and optimistic, with a positive outlook on life. However, one could argue that Jane's initial unhappiness stems from her unrequited love for Mr. Bingley, as she struggles with his apparent lack of interest in her.

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.

I think she would have worn a different dress everyday. The story covers years...

NOTE: I am sorry, but isn't it a bit vague question? I think she would have worn the dress of the 19th Century because that's where the story is set in.

He tells her a quite different story about the living he should have received according to the wishes of the late Mr. Darcy.

Darcy has a contemplative nature, he is deeply in love, and he has been rejected. It is to be expected that he would dwell on why he was rejected, seeking to understand, and once understanding to improve himself.

Darcy says, in chapter 11, "But it has been the study of my life to avoid those weaknesses which often expose a strong understanding to ridicule." He is self correcting, if he thinks there is something wrong.

He is deeply in love, so much so that he cannot suppress it, even though he knows his family will be very upset if he marries Elizabeth. He is constantly reminded of this by Lady Catherine, whose intentions are clear: she expects he will marry Anne De Bourgh.

In examining himself and his situation, he was probably reminded of a lot of things that had escaped his notice before.

It was acceptable that he have Bingley as a closes friend, but Bingley was from a middle class family that had become wealthy, despite the denials of his sisters. By contrast, the Bennets were land owning gentry.

Lady Catherine was as ill bred and ignorant as Mrs. Bennet, and in fact she was worse because she was constantly meddling in the lives of other people.

Lydia's elopement was a scandal that could easily have happened to Georgiana, and with the same man.

When money was removed from the equation, Darcy's family was no better than Lizzy's, and this is a point Lizzy makes explicitly clear in her confrontation with Lady Catherine. He had two choices. Either he had to respect Lizzy's family, or he had to realize he could not respect his own.

You must be referring to the Gardiners, whom he met at Pemberly. The book does not say why he was surprised, but it does say why Elizabeth expected him to be surprised and that she could tell he was surprised. She expected him to be surprised because she thought he must have taken them for people of fashion, and she believes Darcy would not expect her to be related to such people.

On one hand, because of his careless nature; on the other hand, because they had hoped till the very last moment that they would eventually have a son. This long-desired son would have inherited his property and would have been able to support his sisters and mother.
