That’s slightly unfair to lizzie cause although she undergoes a material change after she sees pemberly, it’s also after she read his letter and realised she’d misread the situation. I think her feelings change because she can see his efforts to engage with her when she meets him again and she’s touched that he would be so kind after she was so critical of him for a situation she knew nothing about.

I wholly agree with you that it certainly sours me to Elizabeth, that not as a woman who loved a man for growing and changing and holding himself accountable by her standards, but that it’s very much cannon that she was utterly and overwhelmingly was falling in love when she visited his estate. But I also believe (maybe wrongly) that’s it’s what she sees there, not the material wealth, but the exact items she gazed upon that changes her mind about his wealth. Sort of like you deciding to donate to a philanthropist irregardless of his mansion, but because within it contain photos of the people and the causes they helped found and flourish.
