"This is a wretched beginning, indeed! My sole dependence was on you; and I am sure nobdy else will believe me, if you do not, Yet, indeed, I am in earnest. I speak nothing but the truth. He still loves me, and we are engaged" (Austen 346).
- As the book comes to a close, Elizabeth, usually the person to hold prejudiced views, is this time the victim misjudgements. In this scene she is telling Jane about her engagement with Mr. Darcy, and Jane voices her shock due to her belief that Elizabeth had resented Mr. Darcy. Jane made the inference that Elizabeth had hated Mr. Darcy due to the fact that she had only heard Elizabeth say negative things about Mr. Darcy many months before. Since Elizabeth had not mentioned anything else about Mr. Darcy, Jane naturally assumed that Elizabeth's resentment for Mr. Darcy was still present. Thus Jane Austen shows the dangers of judging people based on one experience.
