In these two weeks I continued to read "Pride and Prejudice", and I finally finished it!
There are many characters in the story, and I often confuse someone with another. To tell apart their relationship, I surfed the Internet to Wikipedia, finding a picture of comprehensive web which is showing the relationships between the main characters in Pride and Prejudice. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Pride_and_Prejudice_Character_Map.png)
In the end of the story, Lady Catherine discovers Mr. Darcy's feelings for Elizabeth, which threaten her long cherished desire for him to marry her daughter, Anne de Bourgh. She pays Elizabeth an unannounced visit and brusquely tries to intimidate her into refusing such an engagement. Unfortunately for Lady Catherine, her visit only serves to confirm Elizabeth's intentions. Furthermore, Lady Catherine later visits Mr. Darcy, and relates the entire conversation to him — giving him the hope that if he proposes to Elizabeth again, she may accept him. After ensuring the rekindling of Mr. Bingley and Jane Bennet's relationship, Mr. Darcy and Elizabeth become engaged.
After she was married, Mr. Bennet missed Elizabeth very much and visited whenever he could. Eventually, even Lady Catherine de Bourgh visited Pemberley, while the Gardiners, of course, were always welcome guests. Both Darcy and Elizabeth love them, for they had brought them together.
The most impressive sentence to me is "…she looked forward with delight to the time when they should be removed from society so little pleasing to either, to all the comfort and elegance of their family party at Perberley." ---extract from the last chapter. It vividly portrayed the happiness and a sense of satisfaction of Elizabeth, and I was deeply touched.
