Relationships between Characters/ Character Change:

“And at that moment she felt that to be the mistress of Pemberley might be something” (181).

“Mrs. Reynolds’s respect for Elizabeth seemed to increase on this intimation of her knowing her master” (183).

“He was always the sweetest-tempered, most generous-hearted boy in the world ” (184).

“Some people call him proud but I am sure I never saw anything of it” (184).

“Their eyes instantly met, and the cheeks of each were over spread with the deepest blush’” (186).

“It is impossible that he should still love me” (189).

“His wish of introducing her sister was a compliment of the highest kind” (190).

“Miss Darcy was exceedingly proud; but the observation of every few minutes convinced her that she was only exceedingly shy” (193).

“All Elizabeth’s anger against him had been long done away; but had she still felt any, it could hardly have stood its ground against the un affected cordiality with which he expressed himself, on seeing her again ”. (193)

“It was gratitude. Gratitude not merely for having once loved her, but for loving her still well enough to forgive all the petulance and acrimony of her manner in rejecting him and all the unjust accusations accompanying her rejection” (196).

“Miss Bingly was venting her feelings and criticism on Elizabeth’s person, behavior, and dress but Georgina would not join her. Her Brothers recommendation was enough to ensure her favor: his judgment could not err, and he had spoken in such terms of Elizabeth as too leave Georgina without the power of finding her otherwise than lovely and amiable. ” (200).

“ She (Lydia) had gone off to Scotland with one of his officers; to own the truth with Wickham” (202).

Characters continue to change and as they change so do relationships in the book. Elizabeth experiences regret when she learns how good-hearted Mr. Darcy really is. Lydia’s marriage is something unexpected that seems to be connected to many things. First, she is going to marry Wickham. Elizabeth and Jane now the truth about him and feel guilty for not having made that public. On the other hand Mrs. Bennet wants the marriage because he is and eligible man for her daughter. Mr. Bennet does not love the idea but prefers rather than a bad reputation. So, not only do relations between characters are involved but also pride and prejudice. They want Lydia to marry because they are afraid of what people might think of them. And as the novel approaches, Darcy and Elizabeth’s pride is put to a test. Who will give in? We don’t know if one them will, I suspect one them will do it, because we know they still love each other, know even more.
