Pride and Prejudice Chapter 27 Summary

  • In March, Elizabeth leaves to visit Charlotte in Hunsford along with Charlotte's family.
  • She says an affectionate good-bye to Wickham, even though he is now paying attention to another woman.
  • Elizabeth reflects that Wickham will always be her model of perfect amiability in a man.
  • Elizabeth and Charlotte's family stop to visit Jane in London on the way.
  • Jane looks OK, but Mrs. Gardiner lets Elizabeth know that Jane is still suffering, even though she had thoroughly given up any expectations of a relationship with Mr. or Miss Bingley.
  • Mrs. Gardiner also takes back her approval of Wickham, arguing that his switch in his affections from Elizabeth to a young woman who had recently inherited money makes him look bad.
  • Elizabeth defends him as best she can and reveals that perhaps she is more hurt by Wickham than she cares to admit.
