Chapter summary
This chapter advances the novel’s social and emotional action around Chapter 10, using dialogue, family expectations, and manners to reveal character motives and relationships. Its opening movement begins: The day passed much as the day before had done. Hurst and Miss Bingley had spent some hours of the morning with the invalid, who continued, though slowly, to mend; and, in the evening, Elizabeth joined their party in the drawing-room.
Modern reader note
Read this chapter in its Regency social context. Courtship, inheritance, gender expectations, class manners, and family authority around Chapter 10 reflect the novel’s historical world rather than present-day norms.
