Pemberley, Mr. Darcy's estate, represents Darcy's
worth--his literal financial worth, his worth as a person of integrity, and his worth as
a partner to Elizabeth. As Elizabeth enters the halls of Pemberley, it is almost as if
she is stepping into his life, where she gains new ideas about Darcy's true
value.

Chapter 43 goes into great detail about Elizabeth's
reaction to the estate. She is taken aback by its beauty and good taste, and marvels at
how gigantic and incredible it is. As we all might feel when stepping into a mansion
owned by a potential marriage partner, Lizzy feels a twinge of regret at having turned
down the owner of this beautiful place: " 'And of this place,' thought she, 'I might
have been mistress! With these rooms I might now have been familiarly acquainted!' " She
realizes Darcy's financial worth anew, now that she's standing inside its physical
manifestation.

Then, when talking with Darcy's longtime
servant, she learns that those who worth in his household consider Darcy to be simply
the best man on Earth: a gentle, true, and kind master. Mindful of the fact that a
household servant could easily complain about his or her master, Elizabeth has a new
realization that Darcy's character may indeed be as immaculate as his home, in contrast
to her initial assumptions about the kind of man he is. It's as if the beauty of
Pemberley is directly reflective of Darcy's personality.

As
she ponders these things, and has a courteous, pleasant visit with Darcy himself,
Elizabeth fixates on Pemberley as a possible representation of a love between her and
Darcy that could still be rescued. Watch what she does as her aunt and uncle try to show
her other picturesque scenery after they leave Darcy's
estate:

Her
thoughts were all fixed on that one spot of Pemberley House, whichever it might be,
where Mr. Darcy then was. She longed to know what at that moment was passing in his
mind; in what manner he thought of her, and whether, in defiance of every thing, she was
still dear to him.

Pemberley
is everything that Elizabeth previously overlooked, all that Darcy is truly
worth.
