Pride & Prejudice How does the visit to Pemberley affect Elizabeth's feelings towards Darcy? Why does her opinion alter after this encounter? We have seen through the books chorus that Elizabeth doesn't care about wealth, she rather wants to marry for love then money (She denies Darcy when he first proposed, and she sees Mr.Wickham as an good man even though he cannot offer her wealth) but all that changes for her and for us after the Pemberley visit. She sees this beautiful mansion, she sees opportunity and freedom in Pemberley.
