Volume 3 Chapter 4

Context in the novel: 
Jane tries to be optimistic about Wickham
Principles: 
I am willing to hope for the best - His character has been misunderstood
Topics discussed: 
Stupidity, hope, faith, reversal, atmosphere, calling, remembering Mother, borrowing, lending
Questions raised: 

Is faith stronger than hope because there is less reliance on the self?
How is hope different from aspiration?
Would Darcy have accomplished without doing anything, if he had had faith in Mother? How can we reconcile faith with the work that we need do inside? What happens to a thief who has faith that he will not get caught?
Are there any conditions to faith? Is faith contingent upon the work that we need to do?
