In the book pride and prejudice... How is darcy feeling after giving Elizabeth the letter?

Sidana [21]

Answer:

Darcy is feeling scared.

Explanation:

The following day, Elizabeth takes a walk and runs into Darcy, who gives her a letter. He walks away, and Elizabeth begins to read it. In the letter, Darcy again admits to attempting to break Bingley’s romance with Jane, but he defends himself by arguing that Jane’s attachment to his friend was not yet strong enough to lead to heartbreak. He adds that he did not wish Bingley to involve himself with the social encumbrance of marrying into the Bennet family, with its lack of both wealth and propriety. In relation to Wickham, the letter states that Darcy did provide for him after his father’s death and that the root of their quarrel lay in an attempt by Wickham to elope with Darcy’s sister, Georgiana, in the hopes of obtaining her fortune.

What does Zaroff say to show that he places little value o human life?

cricket20 [7]

Zaroff values human life differently than most people. Without human life, he wouldn't have his ultimate prey to hunt. But that is the extent of the value that Zaroff places on human life. To Zaroff, a human isn't that much different than any other animal species that he hunts. Zaroff states that the one thing that humans possess that no other animal does is the ability to reason.

Hope this helps.
