Quote #4
"I am a warrior, madam: survivor of the thirty-six chambers of Shaolin, beholder of the scrolls of Gan Xian Tan. I do not seek love, and at present I am not in love with Mr. Wickham; though he is, beyond all comparison, the most agreeable man I ever saw—in form, character, and musketry. However, I see the imprudence of an attachment with one so deeply in want of fortune."(26.7)
When Mrs. Gardiner advises Elizabeth not to fall in love with Mr. Wickham (he doesn't have any money, so it would be a really bad idea), Elizabeth tells her aunt she'll do her best. After all, she's a highly-skilled zombie slayer. She can control her own mushy feelings, right?
Quote #5
What remained of Charlotte would liked to have believed this change the effect of love, and the object of that love her friend Eliza[…] Mr. Darcy certainly looked at her friend a great deal, but the expression of that look was disputable. It was an earnest, steadfast gaze, but she often doubted whether there were much admiration in it, and sometimes it seemed nothing but absence of mind. And upon imagining Mr. Darcy's mind, her thoughts would again turn to the subject of chewing on his salty, cauliflower-like brain. (32.30)
Charlotte didn't marry for love, but she seems to know a whole lot more about it than Elizabeth does. She's the first one to pick up on Mr. Darcy's growing attraction, while Elizabeth writes it off as nonsense. Charlotte is obviously too distracted by her desire for brains to know anything about love, right? That's what Elizabeth thinks, anyway.
Quote #6
That she should receive an offer of marriage from Mr. Darcy! That she should fail to kill him when her honor demanded it! That he should have been in love with her for so many months! So much in love as to wish to marry her in spite of all the objections which had made him prevent his friend's marrying her sister, and which must appear at least with equal force in his own case—was almost incredible! It was gratifying to have inspired unconsciously so strong an affection. (34.31)
Okay, so Elizabeth has a lot of complicated feelings here. On the one hand, she clearly hates Mr. Darcy and wants to see his head on her mantle. On the other hand, she realizes that he's super rich, so it's kind of flattering that he was secretly in love with her all this time. It's like the most popular guy in high school had a crush on you the entire school year and you just found out…and then drop-kicked him to the gym floor.
