What a funny little coincidence that Lizzy only starts to really regret rejecting Darcy's proposal when she sees how beautiful and large Pemberley is.

Dang! That is the best chapter in the entire novel. It pretty much summarizes Elizabeth and Darcy's pride and prejudices!

It’s fascinating how some behavioral patterns haven’t changed over the centuries. You often hear that absurd notion of “no” supposedly meaning “yes,” and while it’s frustrating, it’s also almost comical to see Mr. Collins operating under that exact assumption. The fact that Elizabeth rejects his proposal multiple times and he still interprets it as part of a "courting game" is both ridiculous and telling.
