I don't think Darcy was thinking of Georgiana

in consequence of the missive, Was Darcy unsure?, penned by Julianne E.
I think that Darcy was unsure of whether Elizabeth still had fond feelings for Wickham, unsure of whether she had believed what he (Darcy) had written in his letter. Caroline has tapped into that insecurity by asking this question. When Elizabeth reacted (relatively) calm, cool, and collected, however, Darcy felt relief and was able to enjoy the rest of Elizabeth's visit. He was not really thinking about Georgiana's escape from Wickham during this point in the conversation. That is one part of P&P2 that seems a really nice addition -- that Darcy & Elizabeth share a concern for Georgiana's feelings. Especially since we cannot otherwise know exactly what they are thinking. It also adds to the idea of Elizabeth ultimately being an older sister figure for Georgiana. |
