She is in the midst of this when she is interrupted by the arrival of Mr. Darcy himself. After some brief statements of greeting, he begins pacing around the room until, suddenly, he bursts out into a declaration of love for her.

Elizabeth is amazed and stunned, not only by this announcement, but also by Darcy’s insulting method of proposal. Angrily, she refuses him.

Mr. Darcy, angry and upset, decides to write a letter defending himself against accusations that Elizabeth leveled at him in her refusal of his offer of marriage. First, he defends himself against her accusations concerning Wickham.

He reveals that Wickham is a scoundrel who declined interest in the church and received a sum of 5000 pounds instead of the church living. In addition, Wickham tried to elope with Georgiana, Darcy’s sister, in order to gain access to her fortune of 30 000 pounds.

In the second part of his letter, Darcy explains that when he separated Bingley from Jane, he believed her to be indifferent to him. In addition, he objected to the want of propriety displayed by their mother, their younger sisters and, occasionally, even their father.
