What does Elizabeth's initial reaction to pemberley reveal about the significance of property particularly for women
Are you sure this question does not pertain to Chapter One?
Elizabeth finds Pemberley to be a luxurious setting, and momentarily regrets refusing Darcy's proposal. Women had no property rights, thus, their marriages dictated how and where they would live. Thus, we can see that property was a major consideration in arranging marriages..... particularly for daughters.
