Society is represented as the greatest unseen pressures and by the people around it. The first example of challenge is Elizabeth's journey to Netherfield. Elizabeth's arrival sparks many comments from the women of Bingley. Miss Bingley sarcastically remarks to the rest of her group, "In short, she has nothing to recommend her except being an excellent walker." I will never forget his appearance this morning. She looked almost wild” (Austen 36). It was frowned upon for a woman to walk that far alone. It was all the more taboo since walking, or swinging one's skirt, encouraged images of masturbation. As stated in Fordyce, women were not allowed to be sexual beings. Elizabeth becomes a wild woman to the Bingley sisters because she doesn't care whether she appears sexual and inappropriate - her mind was only on her sister. It acts outside of what they know as the order and rules of the world, and seems foreign and unmanageable to them. Another important comment from this exchange is that of Darcy. Darcy tells a teasing Miss Bingley that Elizabeth's actions make her more desirable in his eyes. His early affections for her are strong enough to be admitted out loud and unaltered by the interjections of others. This develops into stronger, purer feelings as the story progresses.
