Wickham and Darcy

The power of perfect manners, behavior and skills, the service done by Wickham's father to Pemberley, and the positive atmosphere generated by the French Revolution explain why Wickham rises in life in spite of his defects. We attract from outer life what we need for our progress as Darcy attracted the scandalous lies of Wickham. Outer personality and subsconscious are inversely related to each other so what is seen on the surface is often opposite of what is felt deep inside.
