- Here we see Elizabeth states what she believes to be a defect of Mr. Darcy, saying that he has the propensity to dislike everyone. This view is a very judgemental view of Darcy, showing that Ms. Elizabeth is a person that judges people from first impressions which is very defect that is typical for any age or time. Even Mr. Darcy responds by saying, "And yours is to wilfully to misunderstand them"(56). Jane Austen thus is providing an example of one of the problems with society. This judgemental attitude Elizabeth has could prove to hamper her throughout the book due to her fast judgements of people including Mr. Darcy.
This passage, "Jane and Elizabeth attempted to explain to her the nature of an entail. They had often attempted it before: but it was a subject on which Mrs. Bennett was beyond the reach of reason" (60), serves to show that Mrs. Bennett is
a. very tired
b. very intelligent
c. not understanding
d. not very intelligent
