Pride and Prejudice chap. 31--46

Darcy and Fitzwilliam are acquainted because:

• They served in the military together

• They are cousins

• Fitzwilliam works for Darcy's estate

• Fitzwilliam was Darcy's tutor when he was younger

When Darcy sees Fitzwilliam and Elizabeth chatting after dinner, he:

• Is relieved that he won't have to talk to Elizabeth

• leaves Lady Katherine's angrily

• Realizes that Fitzwilliam might be interested in Elizabeth

• Is embarrassed because Fitzwilliam is not of Elizabeth's social standing since he was a tutor

What does Darcy say his reason was for not dancing at the town ball when he first met the Bennets?

• He is uncomfortable around people he doesn't know

• He had hurt his ankle and was in considerable pain

• He was terribly jealous of Bingley

• Caroline Bingley didn't want to dance, so Darcy wouldn't either

Fitzwilliam told Elizabeth about Darcy's role in breaking up Jane and Bingley because:

• He hoped Elizabeth would dislike Darcy even more

• Fitzwilliam was angry because Elizabeth had turned down his marriage proposal.

• Jane had a questionable reputation, and Fitzwilliam told Darcy about it

• Fitzwilliam was trying to make Darcy seem like a good man and devoted friend.

Describe Darcy's proposal to Elizabeth:

• Heartfelt but rude and awkward

• Too rehearsed and cliche for Elizabeth's taste

• Loving and devoted, causing Elizabeth to cry

• Darcy read a poem he had written to Elizabeth

One reason Elizabeth rejects Darcy's proposal is:

• She's in love with Fitzwilliam

• She can't marry until Jane does, and Bingley has gone to London

• Darcy broke up Bingley and Jane

• Elizabeth knows Darcy is promised to Miss Bingley

Another reason Elizabeth turns Darcy down is:

• He tells her he loves her in spite of his better judgement because she's of a lower social class

• He admits that he is promised to his cousin Anne

• She is beginning to have feelings for Fitzwilliam

• She has proof that Darcy took Wickham's inheritance

A third reason Elizabeth turns down Darcy's proposal is:

• She doesn't want to live at Pemberly

• She dislikes how Darcy treated Wickham

• Her mother told her she must marry Darcy or lose her dowry

• Her father has strong objections to Darcy

Lydia wants to go to Brighton because:

• The schools are better there

• She is seriously considering entering the convent

• She wants to follow the soldiers who have been stationed there

• She has great hopes of being an actress, and Brighton is where the theaters are

Who tries to stop Lydia from going to Brighton?

• Elizabeth

• Darcy

• Wickham

• Mr. Bennet
