P& P# 13 4/7: 10-12

Quote- "How could I ever be foolish enough to expect a renewal of his love? Is there one among the sex who would not protest against such a weakness as a second proposal to the same woman? (Austen 317).

Explanation- Elizabeth is going absolutely crazy over Darcy. She doubts that Darcy will ever propose to her again. She comes to a realization that she cannot blame Darcy because she denied him in the first place. And also what kind of a man would go after a woman who has embarrassed him and rejected him already. Elizabeth is thinking about just rejecting his existence all together because she finds it next to impossible for marriage to take place between them. Darcy has proved to have an interesting and complicated character. Darcy has always stepped up when the time called for it. Now it is Elizabeth's turn to step up and try to realize this.
