Quote 1:
'He has been so unlucky as to lose your friendship' [...] 'and in a manner which he is likely to suffer from all his life' (Austen 70).
This quote can be observed in several different ways to receive different bits of information. The first would be to see the verbal abuse Lizzy here dishes out to Mr. Darcy. From this, we can go into two more observations. One may be that Lizzy is so impacted by Mr. Wickham and his story, that she just lashed out at Darcy without any confirmation from himself or others. The second would be that this demonstrates that while she is very logical, Lizzy can be overtaken by emotions in a very negative way.
Quote 2:
'I have done with you from this very day- I told you in the library, you know, I should never speak to you again, and you will find me as good as my word. I have no pleasure in talking to undutiful daughters' (87).
This excerpt further characterizes Mrs. Bennet in the worse way. Not only does she finally reveal that selfish marriage was her motive, but she makes a complete antagonist of herself. She reveals that she is completely selfish, and driven towards moving up in life, rather than her daughter's happiness.
