Elizabeth forms a very favorable impression of Mr. Wickham, and converses with him at length during the evening. Elizabeth is curious to find out about the obvious animosity which exists between him and Darcy. Elizabeth already has her misgivings, and attraction, of Mr. Darcy. I think she is looking for a reason to jump to a conclusion hence a little "prejudice". Once again we see how Elizabeth's prejudgments of Darcy lead to a lack of objectivity.
