Sample text
A Christian clergyman, he writes in terms that parody the parable of the prodigal son : 'throw off your unworthy child from your affection forever'. Every word in the letter drives home the family disgrace, and he virtually congratulates himself for having escaped scandal by not marrying Elizabeth. Mr Bennet, even in the act of acknowledging his blame, is aware of his limited capacity to face up to it properly. His wit persists, though it is turned against himself in his recognition that he is not 'overpowered' by guilt, and that 'it will pass away soon enough' - as it does .
Wickham's insensitiveness is apparent from his renewing his attentions to Elizabeth. She has the moral courage to indicate her better appreciation of Darcy, and his accusation that Darcy has only the appearance of honesty is a staggering and ironic piece of effrontery. Chapter 42 Summary Elizabeth examines the ill-judged marriage of her parents and reflects on the ill effects it has had on the entire family. She clings to the thought of her trip to the Lake District, but when eventually she leaves with the Gardiners, it has to be restricted to Derbyshire.
The sisters' decision not to reveal what kind of man Wickham is profoundly affects new developments in the plot. Chapter 41 Summary To the desolation of Lydia and Kitty, the regiment moves to Brighton. They, and even their mother, wish to holiday there, but only Lydia goes, invited by the young wife of Colonel Foster. Kitty is extremely jealous. Elizabeth disapproves and asks her father to refuse Lydia permission, arguing that Lydia's improper behaviour reflects badly on the whole family. Mr Bennet refuses, denying that the family reputation can be at all 40 damaged by Lydia.
