Darcy-Bingley
Jane-Elizabeth
Gardiners-Bennets
Climax is Elizabeth’s reaction to Darcy’s proposal
Collins thinks he is a burden all the time
Bingley arrives
Meryton dance, Darcy doesn’t dance
Lucas dance, Elizabeth refuses to dance with Darcy
Jane gets sick, Elizabeth visits her
Mr. Collins comes, proposes to Elizabeth
Elizabeth denies Mr. Collins
Elizabeth meets Wickham
Society
Society’s expectations – class, behavior
Stereotypes: based on individuals, family reputation, proper upbringing – music, “Being out”

-critiques his parenting + Lydia going to Brighton
-foil -> greater significance
