“Will you be very angry with me, my dear Lizzy, if I take this opportunity of saying (what I was never bold enough to say before) how much I like him?” (315).
Just when Elizabeth thought Darcy couldn’t get any better, he does. Lydia ruined a secret by telling her sisters that Mr. Darcy was at her wedding. Elizabeth eagerly wrote a letter to her aunt for details, and luckily she received a response as soon as possible. The letter Mrs. Gardiner wrote revealed an important part of Darcy’s character. He was responsible for finding the location of Lydia and Wickham. Once he found them, he tried to convince Lydia to leave and return home. After she refused, he persuaded Wickham to marry her. Darcy knew that if Lydia married Wickham, Elizabeth’s family would be less disgraced. Wickham is the one man whom Darcy absolutely despises. Since Wickham had no intention of marrying Lydia, the only way to get him to do so would be to pay him. Darcy did this all out of love for Elizabeth. He is better than anything Elizabeth could ever ask for. In fact, he is too good. Elizabeth had her chance, but she ruined it by rejecting his proposal in the rudest possible way. She has only herself to blame. Elizabeth lost all hope of marrying Darcy when he came to their house “silent, grave, and indifferent” (328). Elizabeth knows Darcy is perfect for her, but because of the reasons he gave her before in addition to Wickham becoming a part of her family, Darcy can no longer associate himself with her. This is hard on Lizzy because there is nothing worse than wanting something you cannot have.
