Why does Caroline Bingley criticize Elizabeth to Darcy?
Caroline knows that Darcy is very status-conscious. The behavior of his wife would reflect on him, so Caroline calls his attention to everything that shows how differently Elizabeth behaves. The irony is that in criticizing Elizabeth’s behavior, Caroline is also behaving badly.
Why does Caroline not like Elizabeth?
Caroline Bingley, who is indeed not very fond of Elizabeth Bennet, based her animosity on the fact that Elizabeth draws Darcy’s attention like no other woman has in the past.
Does Caroline Bingley ever marry?
She doesn’t want her brother to marry Jane partly because Mrs. Bennet is so horrible (our sympathies), and partly because she’s constructed this fantasy where she marries Mr. Darcy and her brother marries Miss Darcy.
