In this quote, Mr. Darcy opens up and admits the truth to Elizabeth. Throughout the story, it became apparent that Mr. Darcy fancied Elizabeth. An example found early on could be any of the times when Mr. Darcy asks Elizabeth to dance with him; "Mr. Darcy, with grave propriety, requested to be allowed the honour of her hand, but in vain" (27). With Elizabeth refusing mostly every time Mr. Darcy wants to dance with her, Mr. Darcy is in a tough spot. He knows that Elizabeth likes Mr. Wickham, of whom he hates. What is likely to happen is some kind of feud between Mr. Darcy and Mr. Wickham, because it is also said that they constantly tell others of each other's faults. One instance where this happens is when Elizabeth tells Mr. Darcy, "Your character was unfolded in the recital which I received many months ago from Mr. Wickham" (190). Even though Mr. Wickham is in a relationship, Elizabeth still favors him. Chances are, Elizabeth is attempting to get Mr. Wickham away from Miss King. Then there is Mr. Darcy, who attempts to convey his love to Elizabeth, who only thinks of his worst enemy. With the mixing of such bad blood, feud is inevitable.
