Chapter V discusses the ball between the Bennet's neighbors, the Lucases, and the Miss Bennet's.
I think that the women discussing the ball are like feminists themselves because they are jumping to conclusions with who Mr. Bingley liked more. They debated that though he danced with Charlotte first, he liked Jane better because he danced with her twice. I think the ladies are jealous of Jane and this discussion is sort of a way to vent to others. Elizabeth was the only person who did not get asked to dance, so it was also like a pity party for her. I think that discussion made Elizabeth feel worse about herself; since she had no partner.
Though Elizabeth did not get asked, she does have some very different values than her peers. I feel that she really looks past fame and fortune. For example, her peers are trying to get her to get acquainted with Mr. Darcy; she deosn't see anything in him other than wealth.
