In Austen's time, it would be awkward and often inappropriate for an unmarried man and woman to be alone together. It's not very romantic to reassure someone that you're no longer bothered by their inferiority. Darcy may love Elizabeth, but he's still prideful, and Elizabeth responds harshly. Elizabeth unleashes the full force of her prejudice against Darcy, finally letting him see what she truly thinks of him. Darcy, his pride insulted, responds with the same lack of composure. Although he isn't smooth, he is at least honest. Elizabeth's rejection of Darcy is the climax of her prejudice against him. Yet her crying indicates that she still may have deeper feelings for him.
