Women undervaluing their own Written by Donna H (5/5/2007 10:21 p.m.)

Near the end of Chapter 8, CB claims Lizzy

"is one of those young ladies who seek to recommend themselves to the other sex by undervaluing their own; and with many men, I dare say, it succeeds. But, in my opinion, it is a paltry device, a very mean art."

Do you think Lizzy was really doing this in the conversation that had just ended between her and Darcy? And why would such a device succeed with some men?
