Passage: “Be not alarmed, madam, on receiving this letter by apprehension of its containing any repetition of those sentiments, or renewal of those offers, which were last night so disgusting...(page 147-152)...If your abhorrence of me should make my assertions valueless, you cannot be prevented by the same cause from confiding in my cousin; and tat there may be the possibility of consulting him, I shall endeavor to find some opportunity of putting this letter in your hands in the course of the morning. I will only add, God bless you." Fitzwilliam Darcy Explanation: I think that this letter is significant in this section because as rude as Darcy can be, he admits to attempting to break the relationship that was steaming up between Jane and Bingley. He openly puts down Elizabeth’s family by saying that Bingley shouldn’t be involved within the social encumbrance of marrying into the Bennet family, because of its lack wealth and property. Darcy even defends himself by stating that Wickham is wrong and not trustable because he eloped with Darcy’s little sister (Geogina) with the intention of receiving her fortune. This passage is so important because so much hidden information is brought out and the mood is set for the next couple of chapters.
During today's session we discussed how Elizabeth went to visit Mr. Colling and Charlotte at their house in Hunsford. Another topic of choice for my group, reading Pride and Prejudic, was how not one of us completed the last blog question because we did not understand what exactly it was asking us to do. The focus of our conversation then shifted to Mr. Bingley and Jane when Mr. Darcy writes a letter to advise Mr. Bingley not to marry Jane because then he will be marrying into the Bennet family and he should definately not do that because they are crazy and a bad family to get involved with.
