" 'I should be sorrry indeed if it were. We were always good friends; and now we are better' " (Austen 249).
Response
Wickham's attempts to make good impressions on people are made with little effort. Most people in the novel cannot see through Wickham as Lizzie can, which is why most people like him based on first impressions. Lizzie is able to see Wickham for who he truly is and is not fooled by his half-hearted attempts to impress. The elopment of Wickham and Lydia only made relations worse.
Quote
"Darcy had walked away to another part of the room. She followed him with her eyes, envied everyone to whom he spoke, had scarcely enough patience to help anyone to coffee; and then was enraged against herself for being so silly" (260).
Response
This quote shows the regret of Lizzie for rejecting the proposal of Darcy. She cleary sees now how stupid and prejudice she wa; she rejected Darcy based on emotion not reason. Lizzie now knows exactly how Darcy felt before he proposed as roles are now reversed
