Mr. Darcy

What?

Ok that’s a question that jumped out in my head as I read Pride and Prejudice, almost everything I read is senseless. What surprises me the most is Darcy’s arrogance and his incoherence. At the beginning of the book he is clearly not interested in Elizabeth, then the tables turn and he is absolutely interested in her. But in this chapter he shows us how incoherent someone can be. He still likes Elizabeth, but this time he likes her “more than he liked”. Ok, WHAT?

Yes I am puzzled, but who wouldn’t. I will now use all men as an example to show how out of sync I think Darcy is. If you like a woman you will obviously want to be with her, the more time you are with them the more time you have to talk to them. And let’s face it, when you talk to the you are really trying to show them why they should be interested in you. So in what moment does it become convenient not to be with that girl? There are two possible ways to see Darcy’s reaction. One, he is overconfident and thinks he already has Elizabeth tied up. Or second, he is scared of screwing up which doesn’t sound correct.
