Bingley Mr. Bingley's Timeline Mr. Wickham Charlotte Lucas Mr. Collins Mr. Bennet Mrs. Bingley arrives at Netherfield and returns Mr. Bennet's visit. One can obviously say something that seems sincere but still lie. And so on. While Jane is obviously relevant due to Mr.
Consequently, Mr. As it turns out, Wickham is to blame. Her misjudgment of Mr. Darcy, Mr. Bennet, and Mr. Bennet never revises his thinking.

These pages are significant because Elizabeth continues to see the world in a different way than her father does and now begins to recognize that difference.
Elizabeth says. Darcy has not authorized me to make his communication public. On the contrary, every particular relative to his sister was meant to be kept as much as possible to myself, and if I endeavor to undeceive people as to the rest of his conduct, who will believe me?
The general prejudice against Mr. Darcy is so violent, that it would be the death of half the good people in Meryton, to attempt to place him in an amiable light.
I am not equal to it. Wickham will soon be gone; and, therefore, it will not signify it to anybody here, what he really is. Sometime hence it will be all found out, and then we may laugh at their stupidity in not knowing it before. At present I will say nothing about it.
In fact, history suggests the opposite in the way that he took advantage of the Darcy family and then proceeded to deceive Elizabeth and others for his advantage.
People can change, and some do. She is being honest with how she feels, and she is not cynical or sarcastic here, a contrast to Elizabeth and Mr. Yet, if Wickham feels no remorse, then it becomes increasingly difficult not to inform the public about his bad doings. Elizabeth, unlike Jane, now assumes the worst about Wickham.
Her initial thinking honors Mr. The choice belongs to Georgina and Mr. Darcy as to how much information should be leaked to the public, and Elizabeth agrees. That is good. Why might she be cynical here when her motive to protect Georgiana is good? Looking back at Mr. Earlier in the novel, whether it was to Mrs. Gardiner or to Mr. In this passage, she seems to have forgotten about her favoritism towards Wickham and has forgotten that she was tempted by him.
Elizabeth is usually a rational woman, and even Mr. If he can persuade them to think well of him, then Elizabeth should not be surprised that others can be fooled by him as well. A final point, which is an extension of the previous point, is that other women could, and Lydia does, fall for Wickham.
Elizabeth, thanks largely to Mr. Instead of Elizabeth, Lydia takes the fall when she goes to Brighton and eventually meets Wickham. Had Mr. A question, then, is whether keeping silent about Wickham is good, considering the above pros and cons. Before addressing this question, Mr. While Lydia has not displayed virtue and lacks a sensible mind, we have established that Mr.
Such is the case here. Wishing that his daughter would be jilted by multiple men is also harsh. Elizabeth can only. She has already been the recipient of Mr. Lydia would only make matters worse. She says, in a passage that we had mentioned earlier in this essay,.
Bennet and Elizabeth are. Moreover, Mr. Darcy started to notice at the Netherfield ball. His sisters, horrified at the thought of being connected to the Bennet family by marriage, convinced him to leave Hertfordshire. Though he had every intention of returning, [8] when he got to London, Mr. Darcy, Caroline, and Louisa worked together to dissuade Bingley from an engagement to Jane. The three did everything, including conceal from Bingley about Jane being in London. Darcy mostly did it because he believed Jane to be indifferent, [8] which would cause Bingley harm if he actually married her.
Bingley was persuaded not to return, albeit with a heavy heart. Caroline also wrote to Jane, saying how Bingley seemed partial to Georgiana , Mr. Darcy's sister, and she hoped they would soon marry. Bingley traveled to Darcy's estate, Pemberley , in Derbyshire the following summer with his family and Georgiana. When Bingley found out that Elizabeth was staying nearby at Lambton, he was eager to meet her, and joined Darcy and Georgiana when they went to meet her the day they arrived.
Though she never directly asked, Elizabeth inferred from their conversation that Bingley was still attracted to Jane.

During her stay, Mrs. Near the end of the visit, fifteen-year-old Lydia asks Bingley whether he will hold a ball at Netherfield Park.
He replies that he must wait until Jane is fully recovered to hold a ball. In the evening, Elizabeth observes Miss Bingley piling compliments upon Darcy as he writes to his sister. That night, Miss Bingley begins reading in imitation of Darcy—a further attempt to impress him. She chooses her book merely because it is the second volume of the one that Darcy is reading.
How much sooner one tires of any thing than of a book! Only when she asks Elizabeth to walk with her, however, does Darcy look up, and then the two women discuss the possibility of finding something to ridicule in his character.
The next morning, Elizabeth writes to her mother to say that she and Jane are ready to return home. Bennet wishes Jane to stay longer with Bingley, and she refuses to send the carriage.
