This question is referring to Pride and Prejudice by the way // I just need a short answer I will format it to the longer one I need thank you!

2. When Elizabeth arrives at Netherfield Hall to check on Jane, she is judged by the Bingley women for appearing in her muddy clothes. Mr. Darcy “was divided between admiration of the brilliancy which exercise had given to her [Lizzie’s] complexion, and doubt as to the occasion’s justifying her coming so far alone.” What do you learn about Mr. Darcy from this information?

Respuesta :

This quote shows Darcy is torn between social propriety (what society says is correct -- that she shouldn't have come so far on her own) and his attraction to her. It also shows that his love (or admiration) for Elizabeth is something beyond his control, even though he views Elizabeth as socially beneath him.
