“I do not get on at all. I hear such different accounts of you as puzzle me exceedingly” (94).
In the next three pages, we see Elizabeth Bennet being prejudice many times with different people. Elizabeth in the quote above bluntly states her prejudice towards Mr. Darcy. She allows herself to be manipulated by the words of others, and allows those words to affect her opinions on people. Not only is Elizabeth being prejudiced but she refuses to accept the advice of others when telling her things that she does not want to hear: “Let me recommend you, however, as a friend not to give implicit confidence to all his assertions” (95). Elizabeth chooses to ignore the warning given to her by Miss Bingley about Mr. Wickham and says “I shall venture still to think of both gentlemen as I did before” (96). This is an example of how people can remain prejudice after realizing that they were wrong.
Which of these examples best foreshadow what is going to happen with the novel:
a. Elizabeth and Mr. Wickham will get married
b. Jane and Mr. Bingley will get married
c. Mr. Darcy and Mr. Wickham will duel over Elizabeth’s hand in marriage
d. Mr. Darcy and Mr. Wickham are not who they appear to be
e. Mr. Bingley has been deceiving everyone
