Yes, I want to feel bad for Lydia. Wickham used her, didn't care what would have happened to her reputation, and in the end blamed her for the decision to run off. But the girl has absolutely no shame and no sympathy for what she put her family through. How does one pity such a person?



During this stay, frustration is everywhere- Lydia is completely clueless to the grief she caused her family and Wickham doesn't think he has done anything wrong at all!!
Elizabeth observes that, as she suspected, Wickham's affection for Lydia is nowhere near equal to Lydia's affection for him.
Lydia tells Elizabeth that Mr Darcy was present at the wedding, this shocks Lizzie and she writes to her aunt asking for details.
