Chapter 57 Summary After hearing from Lady Catherine, Elizabeth was left shaken. She knew that it had to travel a long distance. Elizabeth immediately assumed that it was the Lucases that had said something. She figured that they had assumed that Mr. Darcy and her would eventually get married because of all the time they have spent together. They also would consider that it would be likely that their romance developed, because Mr. Bingley is Mr. Darcy’s friend, and Jane is Elizabeth’s sister and this would create a bond between them. The following morning, Mr. Bennet receives a letter from Mr. Collins. Mr. Bennet finds it extremely amusing, but what he doesn't realize is that it comes off as hurtful to Elizabeth. Mr. Collins wrote that he has come across the news that Mr. Darcy has proposed to Elizabeth. Yet, Mr. Collins wanted to warn them that Lady Catherine was not a big fan of this plan. As well as warning Elizabeth, he advised her not to rush into the idea of them marrying. Mr. Collins was also shocked to hear that Lydia was received at Longbourn by Mr. Bennet. Even though it is Christian to forgive her, Mr. Collins explained how he would have opposed it. We also find out that Charlotte is pregnant. Mr. Bennet soon realizes that Elizabeth did not share the same humor over the letter that he did, although she declared she did find it to be entertaining. Mr. Bennet then jokes about how two people who originally could not stand each other or their presence-like Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy-could have ever found a way to fall in love. Elizabeth, after hearing this, begins to worry that she liked Mr. Darcy more than he had ever liked her.

“After mentioning the likelihood of this marriage to her ladyship last night, she immediately, with her usual condescension, expressed what she felt on the occasion; when it became apparent that, on the score of some family objections on the part of my cousin, she would never give her consent to what she termed so disgraceful a match. I thought it my duty to give the speediest intelligence of this to my cousin, that she and her noble admirer may be aware of what they are about, and not run hastily into a marriage which has not been properly sanctioned. ” Mr. Collins (page 351).

Conviction (Noun): a formal declaration that someone is guilty of a criminal offense, made by the verdict of a jury or the decision of a judge in a court of law. • “The colour now rushed into Elizabeth’s cheeks in the instantaneous conviction of its being a letter from the nephew, instead of the aunt; and she was undetermined whether most to be pleased that he explained himself at all, or offended that his letter was not rather addressed to herself, when her father continued” (page 350). Illustrious (Adjective): well known, respected, and admired for past achievements. • “Your daughter Elizabeth, it is presumed, will not long bear the name of Bennet, after her eldest sister had resigned it; and the chosen pattern of her fate may be reasonably looked up to as one of the most illustrious personages in this land” page 350).

Chapter 57 Continued Theme • Pride blinds Darcy and Elizabeth about their true feelings

Chapter 57 Continued Theme • Pride blinds Darcy and Elizabeth about their true feelings for each other. Darcy’s pride makes him look down on everyone because of his social rank. He does not let anyone in who is not in his immediate circle. However, Elizabeth takes on pride when she shows that she is quick to judge others, and refuses to change her opinion. This late comes back to her when she realizes that she was wrong about Mr. Darcy and has true feelings for him. She then realizes that she made him out to be a horrible man to her family. “That is what makes it amusing. Had they fixed on any other man it would have been nothing; but his perfect indifference, and your pointed dislike, make it so delightfully absurd!” (page 351) Author’s Purpose • Austen’s purpose in writing this chapter is to portray how Elizabeth feels after knowing the truth about Mr. Wickham and Mr. Darcy. She realized she had gotten it all wrong. Her father later jokes about how her and Mr. Darcy could not happen due to the hate Elizabeth had feels towards him. Elizabeth did not find what Mr. Bennet was saying funny, and instead realized he was basing his impression of Mr. Darcy off misjudgment. Literary Devices • Situational Irony: irony involving a situation in which actions have an effect that is opposite from what was intended, so that the outcome is contrary to what was expected. Lady Catherine’s visit to Elizabeth, leads Elizabeth to thinking that Mr. Darcy still has feelings for her. If he did not, Lady Catherine would not have gone out of her way to spook Elizabeth.

Character Analysis Mrs. Bennet is emotional, foolish, and unrestrained. She is consumed with her

Character Analysis Mrs. Bennet is emotional, foolish, and unrestrained. She is consumed with her obsession of finding husbands for her daughters. Due to her obsession, Mrs. Bennet’s behavior causes harm to her daughter’s chances of finding a fit husband rather than good. Mrs. Bennet lacks certain social graces that ends up alienating Mr. Bingley, who she wishes would wed her daughter Jane. Mrs. Bennet shows that she is insensible to her daughter’s dislike of a loveless marriage. This is shown when she tries to push Mr. Collins onto Elizabeth. Mrs. Bennet worries more about the security of her children rather than their own happiness. This is portrayed within her own marriage. She married a man based on his wealth, even though she has no understanding of his actions. “Happy for all her maternal feelings was the day on which Mrs. Bennet got rid of her two most deserving daughters. With what delighted pride she afterwards visited Mrs. Bingley, and talked of Mrs. Darcy, may be guessed. I wish I could say, for the sake of her family, that the accomplishment of her earnest desire in the establishment of so many of her children produced so happy an effect as to make her a sensible, amiable, well-informed woman for the rest of her life; though perhaps it was lucky for her husband, who might not have relished domestic felicity in so unusual a form, that she still was occasionally nervous and invariably silly. “ (p. 224)
