P&P 12: 7-9

"Mrs. Bennet could hardly contain herself [...] to know that her daughter would be married was enough" (296).

Mrs. Bennet's wishes about marriage have changed quite a bit. Mrs. Bennet's first wishes were to have: '"one of my daughters happily settled at Netherfield, [...] and all the others equally well married, I shall have nothing to wish for'" (11). She wanted all her daughters equally married in stature and wealth; nothing else would do, but now just having her daughters simply being married is enough. Mrs. Bennet has finally realized that all she wants is for her daughters to be happy, and if that is with a poor man, than so be it. If her daughters are happy, than she is happy. Money is no longer an issue.

The reasoning for Mr. Darcy attending Lydia and Wickham's wedding is most likely:

I. Darcy and Wickham have reconciled.
II. Darcy likes Lydia.
III. Darcy was in hopes of seeing Elizabeth there.
IV. Darcy was forced to be there.

a) Just I
b) IV
c) I and III
d) Just II
e) all of the above.
