my friends always telling me who really is my mr. darcy...well, let me tell you this...: )
" she is tolerable, but not handsome enough to tempt me."
Mr. Fitzwilliam Darcy is a fictional character and one of two protagonists in Jane Austen's novel Pride and Prejudice. He is an archetype of the aloof romantic hero, and a romantic interest of Elizabeth Bennet, the novel's other protagonist. The story's narration includes Elizabeth's perspective on events more often than Darcy's, which makes Elizabeth a more sympathetic figure.
Mr. Darcy is a wealthy gentleman and the proprietor of Pemberly, a large estate in Derbyshire, England. Darcy slights Elizabeth at their first meeting, but becomes attracted to Elizabeth, and begins to court her, in his own way, while struggling against his continued feelings of superiority. Mr. Darcy is depicted within the novel as a seemingly cold and aloof man with a large sense of personal pride that frequently expresses itself as arrogance. His apparently distant manner and contempt for those around him leads to his becoming the focus of the disdain of both Elizabeth and many of the other characters over the course of the narrative, particularly in light of the claims of George Wickham, who insists that Darcy has wronged him in the past and who, because of his approachable and charming nature, is automatically given the benefit of the doubt over Darcy. It is eventually revealed, however, that these first impressions are erroneous, as Darcy's seemingly arrogant character masks a sincerely generous and upright nature, and that it was in fact he who was wronged by Wickham, whose own character is revealed to be untrustworthy and duplicitous. Even such matters as his interference in the relationship between Jane and Bingley are presented and re-interpreted as being motivated by genuine concern for the feelings of his friend rather than out of malicious intention.Maybe Jonathan Bennett can be my mr. Darcy.. hahahaha
