There are some absolute bangers of prose in this book, lots of them that deal with Elizabeth's characterization:
Elizabeth saying, "I could easily forgive his pride, if he had not mortified mine." (Ch. 5) Darcy saying, "Nothing is more deceitful than the appearance of humility. It is often only carelessness of opinion, and sometimes an indirect boast." (Ch. 10) Mr. Bennet absolutely decimating his own daughter with "Let us hope, therefore, that her being there may teach her her own insignificance." (Ch. 41) Lizzy to Lady Catherine, "I do not possess equal frankness with your ladyship. You may ask questions which I shall not choose to answer." (Ch. 56) And again, "But you are not entitled to know mine (referring to wanting to know her nephew's concerns); nor will such behaviour as this, ever induce me to be explicit." (Ch. 56) And AGAIN, "I am only resolved to act in that manner, which will, in my opinion, constitute my happiness, without reference to you, or to any person so wholly unconnected with me." (Ch. 56)
Why is it always "you're cute" and never "YOU MUST ALLOW ME TO TELL YOU HOW ARDENTLY I ADMIRE AND LOVE YOU"?????

One you get past the language barrier, nay, once you embrace the language barrier, you get it. The language is beautiful. The story is juicy. I love hot goss no matter the era. I had a great time and I was inspired to write so you know what? Extra points. What a great book.

I put ableism as a tag because Mr Darcy is autistic and everyone hates autistic people until suddenly they love us because we're sweetie pies with resting bitch face.boglord's review against another edition
