"When Elizabeth had rejoiced over Wickham's departure...The thought of meeting Mr. Darcy there, while viewing the place, instantly occurred. It would be dreadful! She blushed at the very idea" (181-184).
This is an interesting quote because she once liked him a lot, and now she is happy over the fact that he is leaving. It's a dramatic change in character for her, so I chose this quote to show that she has believed Darcy and overcome her prejudice and blindness. I went on to page 184 to show exactly how her emotions toward Darcy have shifted. It has gone from hate and superiority to embarrassment and fear.
"Since her being at Lambton, she had heard that Miss Darcy was exceedingly proud; but the observation of a very few minutes convinced her, that she was only exceedingly shy" (197).
The shyness that Miss Darcy gives off doesn't seem to be the type that can be confused with pride, and so I'm sure Wickham was lying and not mistaken. It's a pity that he was such a liar. He could have been such a nice person. Miss Darcy seems very nice, and Elizabeth would have felt so bad if she had severly prejudged Georgianna and she had ended up only a shy young girl.
