In Pride and Prejudice, how does Elizabeth change from the beginning of the novel to the end?

What is the major change she undergoes and what are some specific events in the book where its noticable she is beginning to change? PLEASE HELP ! thank you !In Pride and Prejudice, how does Elizabeth change from the beginning of the novel to the end?
One way she changes is to recognize that first impressions are not necessarily accurate. She dislikes Mr. Darcy on first meeting him and likes Mr. Wickham. In other words, she completely misjudges the character of both. Her prejudice is due to the fact that she was slighted by Mr. Darcy at the Meryton Ball and flattered by Mr. Wickham at her aunt's party. In fact, Mr. Wickham had singled her out of all the other young ladies and talked to her (even later telling...supposedly...only she his secret) even though every other lady was wild for him and wanted his attention.



You really see the change in Elizabeth after she reads Mr. Darcy's letter (which takes place after the proposal at Charlotte's new home). In this letter he explains the real nature of Mr. Wickham's character (among other things), and when she does Mr. Darcy the justice to believe he's telling the truth, she is mortified at her own lack of judgment and the prejudice she's been harboring against Mr. Darcy and the accusations (false she now knows) she hurled at Mr. Darcy.



She has to reevaluate her perceptions of these two men and readjust her ideas. She realizes now some inconsistencies in Mr. Wickham's professions to her and that his actions do not fall in line with his words. She also realizes that though Wickham has the appearance of goodness that Darcy seems to lack, it is Mr. Darcy who has all the goodness.



You see how her past prejudices are done away...slowly. For instance she tells Jane about Mr. Darcy's proposal and letter (in so far as it relates to Wickham), and you see a decided change in Elizabeth's feelings.



Then when Mr. and Mrs. Gardiner take her to Pemberley and she meets Mr. Darcy for the first time since her visit to the Collins' house, she sees him clearly and knows he is without any haughtiness or snobbery. Her feelings for Mr. Darcy change a great deal at Pemberley. She moves from respect and gratitude for his forgiveness of her for her accusations to liking and esteem and then to love.

Did you even read ANY of the book? The girl goes from being both proud and prejudiced (even though she thinks she is not judgmental), especially in terms of her opinions about Darcy, to seeing the good in him and gaining some humility. Basically she saw almost everything the wrong way until the end when her vision was cleared.
