Volume 2, Chapter 13

Plot
This chapter revolves around what Elizabeth felt after reading the letter from Darcy. On her first reading, she couldnt believe what she has just read and re-read the letter a few times. She starts to realize that she has wrong opinion on Wickham. But, as she reaches the end of the letter and tries to convince herself to pay no attention to it whatsoever, she ends up opening the letter again for a closer reading.

 On her second reading, it begins with Darcy's account of his dealings with Wickham. She parses that portion of the letter sentence by sentence, noting how it parallels Wickham's account. The more she thinks about Wickham, the more she realizes that Darcy has told the truth. It means that Wickham is actually a wicked man, and Darcy, whom she has been so busy looking down on, is actually blameless an honest, honorable man. Elizabeth is very shameful of herself that she has mistakenly judged Darcy.

Significant Events
Elizabeth couldnt resist herself from taking out the letter again and re-read it for the second time, even though she said that she would never read it again.
