Do Elizabeth and Mr Darcy get married?
At the end of the novel, Elizabeth and Darcy get married and go to live at Pemberley, while Jane and Bingley move to an estate nearby. The ending reflects the culmination of Elizabeth and Darcy’s relationship, since they finally understand and respect each other enough to live together happily.

His strong advocacy for women and economically disempowered people makes him attractive. Yes, Darcy is rich, but his wealth will do no good if he is a gambler like Wickham. Yes, Darcy is well-born, but his class will do no good if he uses his status to crush his wife rather than raise her.

Why didn’t Mr Darcy have a title?

How much does Mr Darcy earn?
