At this stage does Elizabeth have reason to believe... Written by Tracy W (6/1/2007 1:05 a.m.) in consequence of the missive, I think you are reading too much into this..., penned by Lila

...she was entirely wrong about Darcy? At this stage in our reading of P&P, has Elizabeth changed her mind about Darcy being bad-tempered or arrogant?

I think Elizabeth has reason to believe that her reasons for hating Darcy were wrong, but she still has reasons to dislike him.

Line is right, my argument is that Elizabeth does not place excessive value on wealth, rather than that she doesn't place any value on wealth. My apologies for not making it clear in my previous post.
