Chapter summary
This chapter advances the novel’s social and emotional action around Chapter 35, using dialogue, family expectations, and manners to reveal character motives and relationships. Its opening movement begins: Elizabeth awoke the next morning to the same thoughts and meditations which had at length closed her eyes. She could not yet recover from the surprise of what had happened: it was impossible to think of anything else; and, totally indisposed for employment, she resolved soon after breakfast to indulge herself in air and exercise.
Modern reader note
Read this chapter in its Regency social context. Courtship, inheritance, gender expectations, class manners, and family authority around Chapter 35 reflect the novel’s historical world rather than present-day norms.
