Pride and Predjudice 3-6

Quote 1:
"Miss Bingley was venting her feelings in criticisms on Elizabeth's person, behaviour, and dress. But Georgiana would not join her" (Austen 205).

Analysis 1:
The quality of an individual is often measured by the manner in which they treat other individuals. Mr. Darcy declares himself blame worthy in Lydia's predicament. His sister lives up to these high moral standards. Even in Elizabeth's absence Ms. Darcy will not slander her in order to seem more agreeable in the eyes of Ms. Bingley. This attribute seems to run in the family.

Quote 2:
"Poor Kitty has anger* or having concealed their attachment; but as it was a matter of confidence on cannot wonder" (Austen 208).

Analysis 2:
The Bennet sisters blame themselves for not providing the information which may have saved Lydia. In some respects yes it would be ideal to have provided justice with the information however, The Bennets minds never remotely fathomed the morbid possibility. If they had thought of it and still refused to relinquish the information then they would have been significantly more at fault. The only person who is to blame is Mr. Bennet whose daughters behavior he did nothing to regulate, knowing that there could be consequences.
