“How despicably have I acted!” she cried. “I who have prided myself on my discernment! I, who have valued myself on my abilities!” (205).
“If you judge people, you have no time to love them” (Mother Theresa). Elizabeth was too busy judging and criticizing Darcy, she never had time to love him. For the first time, Elizabeth realizes she is prejudice and has condemned Darcy for no reason. Since Elizabeth immediately accused Darcy of being proud, she never learned his true nature. Elizabeth chose not to see the truth; as a result, her inability to see people for who they truly are would hurt her greatly. Elizabeth trusted and admired Wickham because he was witty and good looking. She quickly learned that Wickham, not Darcy, was deceptive and misleading. Elizabeth has always been proud of her ability to judge right from wrong. This experience is an awakening to Elizabeth; she is not always right. Everything she accused Darcy of, his pride and his quick judgments, she is guilty of herself. Elizabeth has no right to criticize Darcy or others of their faults because she has her own faults to take care of.
