It is soooo interesting to consider the ‘what if’ of Lizzie saying yes to Darcy’s first proposal, and how that would have affected their relationship. He would have been overcome by passion, she would have said yes only out of ‘prudence.’ And such unequal reasoning for entering into a marriage could hardly have made them happy with one another. Both have a lot of character growth to go through before they can be truly worthy of one another. And there’s such wisdom when it comes to relationships in that-timing matters as much as personality/suitability
Lady Catherine is THE WORST -- one of my favorite things about this novel is that both Darcy and Elizabeth have to come to terms with annoying in-laws (her mother, his aunt). And, I'd rather spend 3 days with the silliest Bennets than 30 minutes with Lady Catherine -- which is kind of fun, in context with the "inferiority of your connections" comment 🙃
