Lydia, Mrs. Bennet, Lady Catherine come to embarrass

I guess I don’t like a perfect Elizabeth. She seems too harsh on Darcy. Like another reviewer said, it was confusing because one moment E holds D’s hands, and the next moment she’s admonishing him. Also, not crazy about Darcy being weak and controlled by Wickham.

One part of the book I enjoyed was E telling D she knows about his talking behind her back through Caroline. Including “her mother’s a wit”

Lydia Bennet sticks up for Elizabeth at the Netherfield ball by telling Darcy how everyone dislikes him. Bingley and Colonel Fitzwilliam also let Darcy know about his harsh manners
