Mr.+Darcy's+letter-pd.6

Mr. Darcy wrote Elizabeth a letter apologizing for springing the proposal on her and in the letter he puts down her family and explains his reasoning for why he did what he did abouth the Jane and Bingley drama and the deal with Mr. Wickham.

Elizabeth was very upset about the letter, however after re-reading it over and over agian she began to realize his reasoning for what he did about Jane and Bingley and why he was so mean to Mr. Wickham but she still doesn't understand why he was so mean towards her family.

This affects what happens later in the plot by drawing Elizabeth closer to Mr. Darcy because by worrying so much about the letter it shows she obviously cares and has some sort of feelings towards Mr. Darcy.
