In this quote, Elizabeth is at Mr. Darcy's house, hoping that he does not come. Elizabeth's first thought upon entering the house was "I might have been mistress! With these rooms I might not have been familiarly acquainted!" (240). Elizabeth begins to rethink her rejection of Mr. Darcy's proposal simply by seeing the house she would be living in. She often times alludes to how great a life at the Pemberley estate would be like. During the visit, Elizabeth was also surrounded by all sorts of comments coming from her aunt, uncle, and Ms. Reynolds. Elizabeth can hardly think "In what an amiable light does this place him!" (243). Elizabeth is overwhelmed by what she learns of Mr. Darcy during her visit to his estate. She recognizes that she was incorrect in her views, and might have passed up a comfortable lifestyle in passing up Mr. Darcy. She has finally learned to drop her prejudices of old. This may also be a sign of foreshadowing. perhaps Mr. Darcy and Elizabeth were destined to be together. From the looks of it, Elizabeth seems to be taking this possibility into consideration, and seems quite pleased by the thought of it. Yet, Elizabeth witnesses an awkward moment when Mr. Darcy arrives home, because she was only visiting his estate because he would be away. She appears almost as a mercenary, going after his lifestyle and riches, and then awkward when confronted by him. It may be her previous thoughts about him returning to her. Yet, this is not the case, because Mr. Darcy appears to be rather humble this time around. He even offers Elizabeth to stop by the next day to meet his sister. Elizabeth obliges, which is a starting point towards her overcoming of her prejudice.
