Give the speaker of the quote, and tell what theme it supports: “I cannot be so easily reconciled to myself. The recollection of what I then said, of my conduct, my manners, my expressions during the whole of it, is now, and has been many months, inexpressibly painful to me. Your reproof, so well applied, I shall never forget: 'had you behaved in a more gentleman-like manner.' Those were your words. You know not, you can scarcely conceive, how they have tortured me; -- though it was some time, I confess, before I was reasonable enough to allow their justice.”

What theme does this support? "My daughter and my nephew are formed for each other. They are descended, on the maternal side, from the same noble line; and, on the father's, from respectable, honourable, and ancient—though untitled—families . . what is to divide them? The upstart pretensions of a young woman without family, connections, or fortune. Is this to be endured! But it must not, shall not be.

“Let me recommend you [Miss Bennet], as a friend, not to give explicit confidence to all Mr. Wickham’s assertions; for as to Mr. Darcy’s using him ill, it is perfectly false; for, on the contrary, he has always been remarkably kind to him, though George Wickham has treated Mr. Darcy in a most infamous manner . . . but really, considering Mr. Wickham’s descent, one could not expect much better.”

I have not been used to submit to any person's whims. I have not been in the habit of brooking disappointment.”
Lady Catherine; pride
