The End

What did you enjoy most about the novel? What did you like the least? I have to admit that I loved Elizabeth's treatment of Lady Catherine. What did you think?

Volume Three Chapters 6-12

Wickham's mess. What did each of you think of The Bennett's reaction to The Wickham Lydia situation? Who is at fault for it?

Volume Three Chapters 1-5

Well there is quite a bit to discuss about these chapters. I think that it is the first time I see Darcy as a complete character. His surprise at seeing Elizabeth at Pemberley is genuine and give him away. I think that he wants Miss Darcy to met her so they are acquainted for reasons of his own devise and hope.

I know Mr and Mrs. Gardiner must have been shocked to realize the connection Elizabeth and Darcey had for one another. Wickham and Lydia's actions are risky to say the least. I was wondering how Darcy might hold all this new information on the Bennetts.

Reading Four

Okay, Elizabeth might have been surprised by Darcy meeting her on her daily walks but, I was not as he seemed smitten with her. I am not sure where I picked up on it. Darcy is a hard character to love as every time I think he is a true gentleman, he makes bad decisions that affect others like Jane and Bingley. I was surprised at Darcy's marriage proposal. If they love each other so much how does he just confess to his flaws and leave her to her own life. I was mad at this situation as she could have said something when he gives her the letter. What would you do in this situation? Would you have left or fought? I realize that this is a different era.

I am worried about the life Charlotte Collins will have with Mr. Collins. He seems a little strange. Lydia's behavior in the end of the chapter worries me as to her maturity and how that will effect situations in Brighton. I am not sure she was really ready.

Third reading Revisited.

Dear Ladies and Gentlemen,
I know that i have been off doing life for a bit but I am back and would like to back up to the third reading for a bit as I just left it with a like for a show. Thank you for all being understanding. I know this book is like many others some of us love it from beginning to end, but other find that they love the beginning and get stuck in the middle. I can see how all us have this problem from time to time. I hope you will all stick it out with me. One other thing to think about as we beginning to reach the end of this text is that if we want to continue the club, we can. I was initially planning to read all of Jane Austen's books and use this site to do that,but if there is another text that you are all interested in please suggested and we can see if anyone else is interested and read it.


Back to the book:
I was surprised by the letter telling the Bennett's about the Bingley's moving to London. I wondered why so suddenly and my first thought was of Mr Bingley being inappropriate with a young lady. Jane's worry and disappointment is felt by all as we have all been rejected at one point in our lives. Charlotte Lucas puzzles me as I was sure that she would not just accept the first person to come along. I did find that Charlotte was able to exist in Rosings under the watchful eye with Lady Cathrine. I thought the contrasts that existed between Darcy and his cousin the Col Fitzwilliam to be useful in figuring out Darcy from someone else perspective. What did all of you think.

Apologize

Dear All,
I am sorry that I have not uploaded the sections to discuss. This week has been full of running children here and there. Other responsibilities took the front seat while you all took the back seat. I am sorry and hope that you can forgive me. I will get the sections up and running by Tuesday so we can back on track.
