About This Quote

When Elizabeth Bennet was deeply hurt by her friend Jane, she had no idea how to respond. She was angry that Jane did not reach out to comfort her. However, Elizabeth was not angry that Jane did not hug her back. What Elizabeth was angry about was the fact that Jane did not do anything at all. Jane did not comfort Elizabeth and she did nothing to comfort Elizabeth when she needed it most.
