1. "It was gratitude; - gratitude, not merely for having once loved her, but for loving her still well enough to forgive all the petulance and acrimony of her manner in rejecting him, and all the unjust accusations accompanying her rejection."(page 258)
- If the letter showed Darcy's past, beliefs, and manners; then, Pemberley visualized his wealth, civility, and the love for Elizabeth. The attitude Lizzy has toward Darcy have changed over times: from indifferent to curious, prejudicial to hateful, fair to grateful, and eventually to love. Lizzy's visit to Pemberley is a watershed in the development of the relationship between Darcy and Elizabeth. She found out that "such a change in a man of so much pride excited not only astonishment but gratitude - for to love, ardent love ,it must be attributed" (258). After all these days, she finally realized the goodness in Darcy, and was surprised to find out that she was actually in love with him. Darcy is no longer proud - he has changed, because of love. Would Elizabeth put down her prejudice and change, because of the same reason? The answer is positive.
