In consequence of an agreement between the sisters, Elizabeth wrote the next morning to their mother, to beg that the carriage might be sent for them in the course of the day. But Mrs. Bennet, who had calculated on her daughters remaining at Netherfield till the following Tuesday, which would exactly finish Jane's week, could not bring herself to receive them with pleasure before.

(Jason Kim: This particular part of Swan Lake shows rythems and melodies of short and light notes. When I was listening to this part of the musice, I thought of Mrs. Bennet. Mrs. Bennet is the kind of mother who would do anything to get one of her daughters to marry a rich gentleman like Mr. Bingley. The light and short melodies in the music resembles the sneakiness of Mrs. Bannet and her scheme to have her daugther marry to Mr. Bingley.)

Her answer, therefore, was not propitious, at least not to Elizabeth's wishes, for she was impatient to get home.

(Kristie Lee- Picture of Cinderella's stepmother
The part in which Mrs.Bennet refuses to send the carriage in order to make her daughters stay at Netherfield for a longer time reminded me of the actions taken by Cinderella's stepmother in the movie Cinderella. Both characters, although Mrs.Bennet is not as evil, share similarities in that they both are anxious to make their daughters grab a man of higher position.)

Mrs. Bennet sent them word that they could not possibly have the carriage before Tuesday; and in her postscript it was added, that if Mr. Bingley and his sister pressed them to stay longer, she could spare them very well. Against staying longer, however, Elizabeth was positively resolved—nor did she much expect it would be asked; and fearful, on the contrary, as being considered as intruding themselves needlessly long, she urged Jane to borrow Mr. Bingley's carriage immediately, and at length it was settled that their original design of leaving Netherfield that morning should be mentioned, and the request made.
The communication excited many professions of concern; and enough was said of wishing them to stay at least till the following day to work on Jane; and till the morrow their going was deferred. Miss Bingley was then sorry that she had proposed the delay, for her jealousy and dislike of one sister much exceeded her affection for the other.
The master of the house heard with real sorrow that they were to go so soon, and repeatedly tried to persuade Miss Bennet that it would not be safe for her—that she was not enough recovered; but Jane was firm where she felt herself to be right.
Please Don't Go - Mike Posner
[Monica Suh- In this portion of the story, we can see that Mr. Bingley does not want Jane to leave, insisting that she should stay at his home for a few more days until she has fully recovered. Mr Bingley says this with "real sorrow." In the lyrics as well as in the title of the song, there is a part that goes: " Yeah you got me begging begging baby please don't go." I believe that this accurately shows Mr. Bingley's expressions as he "repeatedly tried to persuade" Jane from leaving.]

To Mr. Darcy it was welcome intelligence—Elizabeth had been at Netherfield long enough. She attracted him more than he liked—and Miss Bingley was uncivil to her, and more teasing than usual to himself. He wisely resolved to be particularly careful that no sign of admiration should now escape him, nothing that could elevate her with the hope of influencing his felicity; sensible that if such an idea had been suggested, his behaviour during the last day must have material weight in confirming or crushing it. Steady to his purpose, he scarcely spoke ten words to her through the whole of Saturday, and though they were at one time left by themselves for half-an-hour, he adhered most conscientiously to his book, and would not even look at her.



(Daniel Lee - The song "Jealousy" talks about the effect of jealousy on one's peaceful state as well as behaviors. Just as jealousy arouses bad emotions in this song, Ms.Bingley's emotions are also distorted with jealousy, leading to her bad treatments of Elizabeth. The lyric part that says 'This jealousy that tortures me is ecstasy, mystery, pain' shows the extreme mental pain, or rather pressure, that the singer felt.)

(Joodi Son- The lyrics of Daughtry's Home fit perfectly into this part of the story because the lyrics state:
I'm going home to the place where I belong, where your love has always been enough for me, I'm running from you know I think you got me all wrong, I don't regret this life I chose for me, But these places and these faces are getting old, So I'm going home
I thought this was a really good representation of what Elizabeth was feeling at that moment, she wants to go home because the faces and the place she is staying at is getting old.)

On Sunday, after morning service, the separation, so agreeable to almost all, took place. Miss Bingley's civility to Elizabeth increased at last very rapidly, as well as her affection for Jane; and when they parted, after assuring the latter of the pleasure it would always give her to see her either at Longbourn or Netherfield, and embracing her most tenderly, she even shook hands with the former. Elizabeth took leave of the whole party in the liveliest of spirits.
They were not welcomed home very cordially by their mother.



[Paul Byeon] Eminem - Like Toy Soldiers (Edited)
The title itself reminds me of Kitty's and Catherine's view on the soldiers in town, as mere toys.

On the other hand, the content itself speaks of the circumstance in whcih an individual is stepping up in order for an overall benefit: potentially a victory for the soldiers in the song and most likely a successful strive for a higher social class through a use in the context of Pride and Prejudice, with Jane and Elizabeth as "toy soldiers" of the Bennet family.

Mrs. Bennet wondered at their coming, and thought them very wrong to give so much trouble, and was sure Jane would have caught cold again. But their father, though very laconic in his expressions of pleasure, was really glad to see them; he had felt their importance in the family circle. (Sylvia Jung <We are family>- the song's lyrics portrays the importance of having a family. This song fits well with Mr. Bennet because he is glad to see his daughters back home.)The evening conversation, when they were all assembled, had lost much of its animation, and almost all its sense by the absence of Jane and Elizabeth.

They found Mary, as usual, deep in the study of thorough-bass and human nature; and had some extracts to admire, and some new observations of threadbare morality to listen to. Catherine and Lydia had information for them of a different sort. Much had been done and much had been said in the regiment since the preceding Wednesday; several of the officers had dined lately with their uncle, a private had been flogged, and it had actually been hinted that Colonel Forster was going to be married.

Chapter 12:
Lie in the Sound - Tresspassers William

The song “Lie in the Sound” by Tresspassers William is fitting for the passage towards the end of chapter twelve. In the end of chapter twelve, Elizabeth is forced to stay at the Netherfields with Jane until Jane feels better. There, she encounters Darcy and Miss Bingley as well. Mr. Darcy shows a lot more interest in Elizabeth and is especially attracted by her intelligence. The quote “To Mr. Darcy it was welcome intelligence--Elizabeth had been at Netherfield long enough. She attracted him more than he liked” depicts Mr. Darcy’s feeling of not wanting to but hopelessly falling for Elizabeth. Mr. Darcey knows that Elizabeth wouldn’t be exactly the perfect match for him, status-wise, since Mr. Darcey is rich and has high expectations. But still, he is inevitably attracted to her so he tries to hide his emotions so that he doesn’t create any false hope or careless admiration that could cause him to like Elizabeth even more. To hide his feelings he would “adhere most conscientiously to his book, and would not even look at her” even if they were in the same room. Lyrics such as “I love you more than I should so much more than is good for me” shows his unwillingness to fall in love and his hopelessness into falling in love with Elizabeth. “I am falling” indicates that he is secretly admitting to himself that he loves Elizabeth. “Oh but I know what I need and if you were just near to me would you go” also illustrates his feeling of wanting to stop liking Elizabeth.
