But no sooner had he made it clear to himself and his friends that she hardly had a good feature in her face" (Austen 15)]]> 2018-02-28 21:23:21 UTC https://padlet.com/sammimaloney18/hbplr20d1b17/wish/236684158 sammimaloney18 https://padlet.com/sammimaloney18/hbplr20d1b17/wish/236684308 "She is tolerable; but not handsome enough to tempt me; and I am in no humour at present to give consequence to young ladies who are slighted by other men" (Austen 7)]]> 2018-02-28 21:23:42 UTC https://padlet.com/sammimaloney18/hbplr20d1b17/wish/236684308 sammimaloney18 https://padlet.com/sammimaloney18/hbplr20d1b17/wish/236684460 "In vain I have struggled.

As shown in the progression of the novel, Darcy has to come to accept that this is a negative trait he possesses, especially because it causes him to not always be right.]]> 2018-03-02 07:32:20 UTC https://padlet.com/sammimaloney18/hbplr20d1b17/wish/237298349 sammimaloney18 https://padlet.com/sammimaloney18/hbplr20d1b17/wish/237299764 This is a big step for Darcy because he is accepting that being vain has been an obstacle in facing the fact that he is in love with someone that is lesser than he is. This shows his character development because at the beginning of the novel there is no way any reader would expect him to be able to accept his faults.]]> 2018-03-02 07:39:44 UTC https://padlet.com/sammimaloney18/hbplr20d1b17/wish/237299764 sammimaloney18 https://padlet.com/sammimaloney18/hbplr20d1b17/wish/237302032 By saying this, Darcy is characterizing himself as a selfish person who only cares about appearances and is quick to judge. It shows his prejudice towards people of a lesser social status than him, and how he does not even want to associate himself with anyone below him.]]> 2018-03-02 07:50:20 UTC https://padlet.com/sammimaloney18/hbplr20d1b17/wish/237302032 sammimaloney18 https://padlet.com/sammimaloney18/hbplr20d1b17/wish/237304484 Elizabeth sees that Darcy has changed and he is a much better person than the one she met a few months prior. This shows Austen's intended character arc to prove that love can bring out the best in people. Even the ones you would never expect it from.]]> 2018-03-02 08:01:57 UTC https://padlet.com/sammimaloney18/hbplr20d1b17/wish/237304484
