Analysis of Jane Austen’s masterpiece novel Pride and Prejudice. Does Lydia Bennet’s elopement with Mr Wickham come out of nowhere? Or did Lydia Bennet always have her eye on Mr Wickham? Also, what does the Bennet family’s & narrative voice’s conflating of ‘Kitty and Lydia’ obscure? Close reading and literary analysis of Jane Austen’s text.

Reflecting on the elopement of Lydia and Mr Wickham, Elizabeth Bennet reflects that:

“She had never perceived, while the regiment was in Hertfordshire, that Lydia had any partiality for him; but she was convinced that Lydia wanted only encouragement to attach herself to anybody. Sometimes one officer, sometimes another, had been her favourite, as their attentions raised them in her opinion. Her affections had continually been fluctuating but never without an object.”
(Jane Austen, Pride and Prejudice, ch.46)

But, is Lizzy correct? Had Lydia Bennet, in fact, shown any partiality for Mr Wickham?
