Quote- "That would be the greatest misfortune of all! To find a man agreeable when one is determined to hate! Do not wish me such an evil" (Twain 88).
Explanation- This quote is Elizabeth's response to Ms. Lucas's question of finding Mr. Darcy attractive. Elizabeth says that she does not want to be bothered with such a man even though she had unknowingly accepted to dance with Mr. Darcy. She is putting up a pretense about her feelings towards Mr. Darcy. She does not want to believe that she could be more attracted than repelled to such a proud, odious man. Her character is telling her that she cannot fall for this man, while her mind and body yearn for him, even without her realization from it. I believe that she will start to fall more and more in love with Mr. Darcy to the point where her character can accept it.
Multiple Choice-
"that she was selected from among her sisters as worthy of being the mistress of Hunsford Parsonnage...she observed his increasing civilities towards herself, and heard his frequent attempt at a compliment on her wit and vivacity" (85).
According to this passage which of the five Bennet girls does Mr. Collins seem to select to become his wife?
a) Jane
b) Kitty
c) Mary
d) Lizzy
e) Lydia
