It was not worry her much until one day she felt herself bad and stay home alone. Mr. Darcy visited Lizzy in order to open his feelings to her and make a proposal. Elizabeth rejected him because her opinion about Mr. Darcy, her thoughts were in conflict with it. She expressed everything to him, mentioning his fault in Jane’s depression and Mr. Wickham’s problems. Mr. Darcy went away without any explanations, however, next day met Mr. Bennet in the park and gave her a letter.

Having read this letter, many things, which justified Mr. Darcy’s actions, were opened to Elizabeth.
