Thanks Stephanie! I have enjoyed your input about Lizzy; it has helped me a great deal. (:D)

I see what you are saying and it makes better sense. I did not wish to think at this point Lizzy believes Darcy would take any pleasure in any sort of triumph over her. I thought his behavior ought to have suggested to her that he would not but she seems to feel triumph would be the natural feeling on the part of any man: “He was as generous, she doubted not, as the most generous of his sex; but while he was mortal, there must be a triumph” (50). Of course Lizzy has hoped to enjoy a few triumphs herself at some points. I wonder if Lizzy has a dark outlook at this moment because of disappointment as she did earlier in the story:

"Oh! if that is all, I have a very poor opinion of young men who live in Derbyshire; and their intimate friends who live in Hertfordshire are not much better. I am sick of them all. Thank Heaven! I am going to-morrow where I shall find a man who has not one agreeable quality, who has neither manner nor sense to recommend him. Stupid men are the only ones worth knowing, after all."
