Pride and Prejudice - Austen

What trouble for the Bennets! Five daughters, none married, and the house titled to the obnoxious Mr. Collins! Have pity on my poor nerves!
Well, Lizzy always was the headstrong one, spoiled by her father I should think. At least Jane had a chance to land Mr. Bingley. He's ever so handsome, well mannered, and owner of Netherfield too! Mr. Darcy wouldn't dance with Lizzy, and I dare say, it is not a loss. He is ever so disagreeable. But what should you think but Bingley and his party leave without so much as a good bye? And he seemed so very fond of my dear Jane. (Not quite as dear as my Lydia, but a beauty just the same.) Lizzy blames our behavior, but I see nothing wrong with the country nor my daughters' exuberance.
On top of that, Lizzy rejects Mr. Collins! Yes, I could not make her know her mind despite the fact that she is snatching the bread out of our mouths. That Charlotte should marry him so soon after is the gal of it all.
What would you think that Lizzy should meet Mr. Darcy again while visiting Charlotte? And of all things, she rejects him too! Well, I can't blame her, really. He did separate dear Jane from Bingley and called her connections poor. As if she should have any reason to be ashamed for her family!
The worst of the stress on my poor nerves is yet to come. My darling Lydia eloped with that charming Wickham Lizzy was dallying with. Who could have imagined such goings on? It turns out that Darcy had a hand in ensuring their marriage, and reunited Mr. Bingley and Jane. Naturally Lizzy accepted him after this and they live quite grandly. Perhaps he's not quite as disagreeable as I thought.
Analysis: 
One must take Austen's life into account. She's writing for family and friends, never married (Daddy was rich and let her do whatever she wanted), and likely had quite a few lovers. That said, it explains why we don't hear about Lydia's gritty, hardscrable marriage. This is for amusement, not an expose of social inequities. The narrative voice has the trademark Mr. Bennet humor, sarcastic and particularly merciless of Mrs. Bennet and her three youngest daughters. So, what does it mean that Lizzy gets her fairy tale? She follows only her own counsel on marriage, yet so does Lydia. Why does one live in an enchanted castle and another with a gambling addict of few scruples? The difference: Lizzy and Darcy both tear the illusions of each other apart through confrontation or deed.
Meaning: True understanding of one's own character and that of one's love is necessary for a true relationship and marriage.  
"It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife." - Sets the tone for the novel, largely lighthearted and scoffs at the upper class, also a jab at Mrs. Bennet.
"And your defect is a propensity to hate everybody."
"And yours," he replied with a smile, "is willfully to misunderstand them. - Shows the tension between Darcy and Lizzy, both understand each other more than any other character and aren't afraid to say so.
