Pride and Prejudice 12: ch 7-9

“She wanted to hear of him, when there seemed the least chance of gaining intelligence. She was convinced that she could have been happy with him, when it was no longer likely they should meet” (301).
  • This quote is very interesting.  Elizabeth is saying that if Darcy were to propose to her now she would say yes.  There is only one problem with that… she doesn’t know if Darcy will propose to her again.  Lydia’s marriage to Wickham was a huge controversy and it would deter Darcy from making another proposal.  Elizabeth is falling for Darcy head over heals.  It is possibly because she has experienced her younger sister marrying a man before her, and quite possibly the man she had thought would be a suitable husband.  There are many possible reasons for this, but none for sure.  It is most likely that she is finally realizing how Darcy is a good man.  She should have said yes before, but she did not understand him like she does now.  
Why did Mr. Darcy attend the wedding?
A.) He hoped to see Elizabeth there
B.) He felt obligated to go
C.) He forgave Wickham
D.) He has a secret love for Lydia
