I got so annoyed with Lydia. She doesn't care a jot that she almost ruined her families reputation or that she'd committed something which in those times was thought to be morally wrong! She would have deserved to be ruined but her family didn't. Mar 22, PM.

She offered to take her sisters with her and Wickham so she can get husbands for all of them - causing Lizzy to respond "I don't like your way of getting a husband".
I think that Wickham knew that Lizzy had fallen for Mr. Darcy when he spoke the last time with her and saw a way to get all his debts paid, his future set up, and a silly wife that would let him do whatever he wanted.
The end of the story tells us how both Jane and Lizzy continued to support them just to keep them away. Mar 26, PM. Apr 24, AM.

Apr 24, PM. Wickham was interested in a "good time" Lydia was a naive easy girl. He had done it before. Only this time the girl's family had clout and support and he was forced to marry her, the money was an incentive too. Although I am sure had he refused Darcy could have made things a bit more unfortunate for him and had him thrown in jail for his debt and desertion or worse.
In defense of Lydia. Did she purposely set out to hurt her family? I don't think so she was really, very young, too young with parents who had not taught her how to behave or what "dangers" are out in the world. Frankly she was stupid. She probably honestly thought this was the way to snare a husband. I'm sure she did not know anything about mistresses or prostitutes and probably thought if she was with Wickham of course he would marry her.

She may not have known about the existence of mistresses and prostitutes I doubt that very much , but she surely knew that in her society, women were not supposed to live with men before marriage. I don't think Wickham ever intended to marry Lydia but I think she was infatuated with him and believed he would marry her Another angle about Wickham I think he really was into young girls Georgiana was Lydia I think he was kind of perverted guy Mitali, of course she would have known not to live with a man prior to marriage.
I suppose what I am trying to imply and apparently failing at, is that in her naivety and lack of knowledge of the world she probably thought that sleeping with him was ensuring she was marrying him. Similar to a modern situation of the equivalence of a young girl thinking, if I sleep with him that means he loves me. Lydia would not necessarily have been brought up to know that some men bed women outside of marriage. While 16, she was not 16 in today's standards and still would have been very sheltered.

If they were older and more responsible they would know better than to go off with him at the risk of their families disgrace. So maybe he was just going for an easy target.
Apr 26, AM. I still think Wickham was a little more calculating in his actions, it was more than just his like for young girls. I think he was determined to get his hands on Darcy's money no matter what, knowing that Darcy was a man of honour in learning of Darcy's interest in Elizabeth opened a door to his ultimate gain.
Did he really know Darcy was interested in Elizabeth though? I mean he was off in another place, and couldn't have known about anything going on between them Or am I wrong? Kristen wrote: "Did he really know Darcy was interested in Elizabeth though? I mean when he left he and Elizabeth were sorta making eyes at one another. He was just a guy looking for an easy good time. Lydia was probably not the only one he had a good time with during that time away either.
He took Lydia just for her company and sex. He had to leave, so he might just as well have a companion. He had no intention of marrying her.
I don't think he had any idea about Darcy's growing attraction to Elizabeth, how could he? He was just a cad, Lydia would be used for sex. Once he'd grown tired of her, he'd have left her, unmarried and no longer a virgin. She also claims to be the tallest of the five sisters, though she is the youngest. Lydia is bold, brash, reckless, and spoiled. She is also silly, flirtatious and girlish past propriety, as Darcy points out to her sister.

Because she is just like her mother in her manners, Lydia was over-indulged from infancy, as she was Mrs. Bennet's favorite child, and her father neglected her. Bennet never taught her to restrain herself as he should have, having retreated by then into his books, leaving his wife to the management of their daughters. Even Elizabeth, her own second-oldest sister, views her as "vain, ignorant, idle, and absolutely uncontrolled", as well as a 'determined flirt', which made her, and even her family, an object of ridicule at times.
In fact, Elizabeth believes that because of her multitude of flaws, all Lydia has to recommend herself are her youth, her health, and her good humor.
