Although there are multiple women who are not dancing he refuses to dance with any woman there. “You know how I detest it, unless I am particularly acquainted with my partner. At such an assembly as this it would be

insupportable. Your sisters are engaged, and there is not another woman in the

room whom it would not be a punishment to me to stand up with” (Chapter 3). This is our first impression of Mr. Darcy where he comes off as rude and uncaring.

He explains that they have a history together where he was robbed of his share in a will. “A man of honour could not have doubted the intention, but Mr. Darcy chose to doubt it—or to treat it as a merely conditional recommendation, and to assert that I had forfeited all claim to it by extravagance, imprudence—in short anything or nothing" (Chapter 16). This is where Mr. Darcy is starting to be portrayed as more of a bad person. Seeing his personality in the early chapters something like this is not incredibly hard to believe. ]]> 2023-04-06 16:07:11 UTC https://padlet.com/ModestoCitySchools/sr1zqqvve4fa0ir7/wish/2546425209 Darcy and Elizabeth talk again 505604 https://padlet.com/ModestoCitySchools/sr1zqqvve4fa0ir7/wish/2558865410 Elizabeth and Darcy meet again at the estate of Mr. Collins. During their conversation Mr. Darcy is quiet and reserved which can be seen as rude. While Elizabeth is continuing the conversation Charlotte returns and Mr. Darcy leaves soon after. "A short dialogue on the subject of the country ensued, on either side calm and concise—and soon put an end to by the entrance of Charlotte and her sister, just returned from her walk. The tete-a-tete surprised them. Mr. Darcy related the mistake which had occasioned his intruding on Miss Bennet, and after sitting a few minutes longer without saying much to anybody, went away". Elizabeth and Darcy are able to have a level headed conversation which shows us Mr. Darcy might not be as bad as he seemed. ]]> 2023-04-18 16:14:35 UTC https://padlet.com/ModestoCitySchools/sr1zqqvve4fa0ir7/wish/2558865410 Mr. Darcy proposes to Elizabeth 505604 https://padlet.com/ModestoCitySchools/sr1zqqvve4fa0ir7/wish/2558872420 Elizabeth as it stood had a very low opinion of Mr. Darcy. Seeing this proposal was incredibly shocking to her as she assumed they shared a mutual dislike. "I have every reason in the world to think ill of you. No motive can excuse the unjust and ungenerous part you acted there. You dare not, you cannot deny, that you have been the principal, if not the only means of dividing them from each other—of exposing one to the censure of the world for caprice and instability, and the other to its derision for disappointed hopes, and involving them both in misery of the acutest kind” (Chapter 34). Elizabeth thinks Mr. Darcy knows what he has done disturbed her but continues to pester her anyway and he tries to marry her without caring about how she feels. ]]> 2023-04-18 16:19:53 UTC https://padlet.com/ModestoCitySchools/sr1zqqvve4fa0ir7/wish/2558872420 Elizabeth reads the letter 505604 https://padlet.com/ModestoCitySchools/sr1zqqvve4fa0ir7/wish/2558878900 Finally Elizabeth is able to see the whole truth of the situation with Mr. Darcy and Wickham. We discover in this letter that he did purposefully separate Jane and Bingley but he did not think it was wrong because he figured Jane was not attached to Bingley. He also reveals the truth about his history with Wickham showing us that Mr. Wickham is a disgusting person. "A prior acquaintance between him and Mrs. Younge, in whose character we were most unhappily deceived; and by her connivance and aid, he so far recommended himself to Georgiana, whose affectionate heart retained a strong impression of his kindness to her as a child, that she was persuaded to believe herself in love, and to consent to an elopement. She was then but fifteen, which must be her excuse; and after stating her imprudence, I am happy to add, that I owed the knowledge of it to herself. I joined them unexpectedly a day or two before the intended elopement, and then Georgiana, unable to support the idea of grieving and offending a brother whom she almost looked up to as a father, acknowledged the whole to me. You may imagine what I felt and how I acted. Regard for my sister’s credit and feelings prevented any public exposure; but I wrote to Mr. Wickham, who left the place immediately, and Mrs. Younge was of course removed from her charge. Mr. Wickham’s chief object was unquestionably my sister’s fortune, which is thirty thousand pounds; but I cannot help supposing that the hope of revenging himself on me was a strong inducement. His revenge would have been complete indeed" (Chapter 35).]]> 2023-04-18 16:24:37 UTC https://padlet.com/ModestoCitySchools/sr1zqqvve4fa0ir7/wish/2558878900 Elizabeth talks to the people in Pemberley. 505604 https://padlet.com/ModestoCitySchools/sr1zqqvve4fa0ir7/wish/2561022699 It is here we discover how the people closest to Mr. Darcy describe him. Elizabeth gets accounts from many of his servants and close relatives and they all describe him as a wonderful person. "Mr. Gardiner, whose manners were very easy and pleasant, encouraged her communicativeness by his questions and remarks; Mrs. Reynolds, either by pride or attachment, had evidently great pleasure in talking of her master and his sister" (Chapter 43). Elizabeth is starting to realize that Mr. Darcy is not as bad as she once imagined him to be.]]> 2023-04-20 02:51:18 UTC https://padlet.com/ModestoCitySchools/sr1zqqvve4fa0ir7/wish/2561022699 Elizabeth speaks to the people at Pemberley. 505604 https://padlet.com/ModestoCitySchools/sr1zqqvve4fa0ir7/wish/2561025025 Elizabeth is able to finally talk to the people closest to Mr. Darcy. In doing this she finds that they all see him as a very excellent person contrary to her beliefs. His close relatives and servants all give him great praise for how he acts. "Mr. Gardiner, whose manners were very easy and pleasant, encouraged her

communicativeness by his questions and remarks; Mrs. Reynolds, either by

pride or attachment, had evidently great pleasure in talking of her master and

his sister" Chapter 43). Elizabeth is starting to realize that she made have initially judged Mr. Darcy wrongly.

If it were not for him Lydia would be seen as a scandolous women and their whole family would be outcast. "The vague and unsettled suspicions which uncertainty had produced of what Mr. Darcy might have been doing to forward her sister’s match, which she had
feared to encourage as an exertion of goodness too great to be probable, and at the same time dreaded to be just, from the pain of obligation, were proved beyond their greatest extent to be true! He had followed them purposely to town, he had taken on himself all the trouble and mortification attendant on such a research; in which supplication had been necessary to a woman whom he must abominate and despise, and where he was reduced to meet" (Chapter 52). Mr. Darcy has proven that he is a generous man and that his actions early in the novel were not of malicious intent. ]]> 2023-04-20 02:58:17 UTC https://padlet.com/ModestoCitySchools/sr1zqqvve4fa0ir7/wish/2561030874 Mr. Darcy proposes to Elizabeth once again. 505604 https://padlet.com/ModestoCitySchools/sr1zqqvve4fa0ir7/wish/2561034785 After all the dirty air was cleared Mr. Darcy is able to propose to Elizabeth in the manor that he intended to from the beginning. Elizabeth now sees that prejudice clouded her view of him and that she now truly loves him despite all of their quarrels in the past. "The vague and unsettled suspicions which uncertainty had produced of what Mr. Darcy might have been doing to forward her sister’s match, which she had
feared to encourage as an exertion of goodness too great to be probable, and at the same time dreaded to be just, from the pain of obligation, were proved beyond their greatest extent to be true! He had followed them purposely to town, he had taken on himself all the trouble and mortification attendant on such a research; in which supplication had been necessary to a woman whom he must abominate and despise, and where he was reduced to meet". They agree to marry later in the end. ]]> 2023-04-20 03:01:30 UTC https://padlet.com/ModestoCitySchools/sr1zqqvve4fa0ir7/wish/2561034785
