P&P #13

"Elizabeth had now but little time for conversation with her sister; for while he was present, Jane had no attention to bestow on anyone else" (266)

I chose this quote because it shows the change in Jane's affections towards Mr. Bingley. Previously, Jane had not shown any special attention to Mr. Bingley which almost caused their relationship to separate. Now, she recognizes her faults and is making up for her mistakes. With Jane's problem solved they are now able to live happily together.

"Elizabeth really believed all his expectations of felicity, to be rationally founded, because they had for basis the excellent understanding, and super-excellent disposition of Jane, and a general similarity of feeling and taste between her and himself" (265)

I chose this quote because it shows how Lizzy is truly happy for Jane and Bingley. Lizzy approved of Jane and Bingley's marriage because there is an obvious love between the two and the marriage is occurring for the right reasons. Lizzy is happy for Jane because she is marrying a good man. This contrasts with the marriage between Charlotte and Mr. Collins because neither of them were in love and the marriage happened for the wrong reasons.
