"She grew absolutely ashamed of herself.-Of neither Darcy nor Wickham could she think, without feeling that she had been blind, partial, prejudiced, absurd" (159).
Response
This quote shows how ashamed Elizabeth is of herself when he realizes that her judgments of Mr. Wickham were completely false. Elizabeth is a very rational person and a mistake like this makes her feel bad about her character. She had been prejudice based on a bad first impression and it had blinded her to the rest of the two men's characters
Quote
"Jane had been deprived, by the folly and indecorum of her own family!" (163).
Response
Jane's unfortunate situation with Mr. Bingley was caused by the absurd nature of Mrs. Bennet. Mrs. Bennet could not control her emotions and she always said what was on her mind even though she was in a public setting. Her personality is the one thing that permitted her from achieving her only dream, finding her five daughters husbands.
