"There are few people whom I really love, and still fewer of whom I think well." (Austen 131).
This quote mocks Elizabeth's judgemental and calculating personality. This is a statement of such exaggerated prejudice as is shown in Elizabeth's character that it hardly makes sense any more. Austen is showing how little sense Elizabeth has in exaggerating her prejudices to this point of absurdity.
Elizabeth is probably also here making a comment about her family. Although she loves them because they are her kin, she does not, necessarily, think well of them, as is shown by her relationships with her mother, Kitty, Lydia and Mary.
