I thought she would have declined. I'm not shocked or mad at her. In a way she would have done what any other modern lady would have done if she did not like the man who asked to marry her. But in a way she did make a bad mistake because she isn't in our time. She is at a point of history where marriage is the only way for a woman to survive without having to beg, become a maid, or just stay home. And she might not have another chance to get married again. Mr. Darcy is too stubborn to "marry someone below his social status" And we have not heard news from Mr. Whickham (How ever you spell his name) So yeah...
