Elizabeth's disposition regarding Darcy has almost completely changed. She is realizes that if Darcy were to propose to her again, she would gladly accept. She is also aware that because of the affronting nature of her refusal, there is a very good chance that such a proposal will not arise. She now understood that "he was exactly the man who, in disposition and talents, would most suit her" (261). She originally found his manners abrasive and implacable, but she now believes that she was originally mistaken about his personality. She thinks that maybe if they were to marry, her personality would soften him up and he would be come very affable. She is, however, disappointed by that fact that because Lydia is to marry Wickham, there would be no chance that Darcy would want to deal with such a family. She is now confident in her feelings about Darcy, but now she has doubts about Darcy's feelings towards her.
