Both Jane and Elizabeth experience
an emotional decline when their realizations of marriage continuously diminish.
Elizabeth has shown interest in Mr. Wickham, however, his relation with Mr.
Darcy skews creates a cognitive dissonance: she originally admires him, but she
questions whether or not she should reveal Wickham’s unpleasant character. Similarly,
Jane still shows affection for Mr. Bingley even he leaves Longborough. He
decides to leave Jane for another woman, and that action should spark jealousy or
hatred; but to Jane, she still regards Mr. Bingley with affection. Also, Elizabeth
is upset with her good friend, Charlotte, being able to inherit the estate at
Longborough once Mr. Bennet passes away. Elizabeth talks favorable of Mr. Darcy
and Colonel Fitzwilliam as a form of abhorring Mr. Wickham’s disdainful
personality. As a result, Wickham is enraged. Evidently, both Elizabeth and
Jane experience downfalls in relationships with men in society. They both cope
with their relationships declining by rationally approaching their problem
rather than emotionally reacting. However, Elizabeth approaches emotionally
when she attempts to deceive Mr. Wickham into thinking that she shows affection
for both Mr. Darcy and Colonel Fitzwilliam.
