Act 2 Scene 14

Question 1

JANE. –Lizzy, why would Mr. Darcy interfere? It must be a credit to you!

Answer 1

No, Jane, Darcy was the person who revealed Mr. Wickham’s character to me. I am sure he feels a…responsibility, for not being more open about Wickham’s history.

Question 2

JANE. To do so much, just for honor’s sake–

Answer 2

–Darcy is, we must concede, a most honorable man.
Oh, Jane, how could I have acted so despicably? Who am I to reproach Lydia for foolishness?
Mr. Darcy was right–he did hurt my pride, over and over again, from almost the first moment we met…and so I endlessly indulged my own cleverness, all in the service of my prejudice! I truly enjoyed detesting Darcy, and did him a thousand times more injury than he ever did me–abusing him openly, even to Wickham! The lowest of men! I, who boasted of my discernment! Until this moment I never knew myself. I have been so–

Question 3

JANE. Blind? …What will you do?

Answer 3

There is nothing to do. If I were to see Mr. Darcy, I might apologize to him for being–being–so–

Question 4

JANE. Blind?

Answer 4

Yes, well.–But I never shall see him again. So.
