Opening: In Pride and Prejudice Volume 11, Elizabeth has a significant realization about not only herself, but the people around her. It all starts with with Darcy proposing to Elizabeth unexpectedly and confessing his love to her. We learn after this proposal that this whole time Elizabeth has been so blinded by Mr. Wickham’s looks and charm that she never took the time to understand Darcy’s view as to why he is not fond of Mr. Wickham. It only took Elizabeth to be mistrusted by Mr. Wickham and hearing the unexpected truth from Darcy for her to realize his point of view. Not only is Elizabeth going through a lot, so is Jane. Jane has been in London taking some time for herself. We can assume that this was best for Jane to take some time for herself considering the fact the love of her life, Bingley, has left her. Since we learn from Darcy’s proposal …show more content…

Do you think is was disrespectful for Charlotte to marry Mr. Collins No, I do not think it was disrespectful because she is at an age where she is too old to be married off and a burden to her family because of that. I think it was smart for not only her and her future that she was to marry Mr. Collins. It is not like Elizabeth or one of the Bennetts was in love with Mr. Collins, so I do not think it was disrespectful. 3. Should Darcy give Elizabeth another chance? Yes, I think that Darcy should give Elizabeth another chance because he was not open with her at all which led her to misjudge him. It would be good for Darcy to understand someone from a lower class and realize that it is not all about him. His pride should not get in the way of someone he loves. 4. Should Elizabeth be mad at Mr. Darcy for breaking up Jane and Bingley’s relationship? No, I do not think that she should be mad because if Bingley really loved Jane, social status should not have been a problem. Also, Jane was very shy and not as affectionate to Bingley so it was somewhat her fault for not showing her love for him

On the other hand, Mr. Darcy has a social ranking of complete superiority within the society; he comes from a family that has the highest of standards among those three similar aspects to the Bennet family.

    Elizabeth’s most significant change in Pride and Prejudice pertained to her regard for Darcy, which eventually revealed her new willingness to overcome her own prejudice. Early on, while talking to Jane about Mr. Darcy, Elizabeth declared that “to find a man agreeable whom one is determined to hate” would be “the greatest misfortune of all” (89). Throughout the first half of the book, Elizabeth served as the embodiment of prejudice, in that she was so insistent on hating that she would have found displeasure in discovering benevolence in another person. This was shown in her initial view of Darcy, in which virtually nothing could have redeemed him in her eyes from anything more than a conceited man of wealth. The most significant change of
