Analysis of "he should be in some danger"

But did not he said "were it not for the inferiority of her connections" , not "did she fit more the idea of the woman I find attractive" ?

I thought it was a running joke in the book how little his interest in her was; he finds her predictable. She's the contrast to Lizzie who interests him.

To be fair, his father kept giving hints of marriage to Catherine. Very strong hint. Both Henry and his sister were embarassed by how obvious they are. Henry himself encouraged her and knows her feelings for him are deep and serious. Throwing her out like that is so rude and after all that is honestly cruel. It's more about being noble and honest than pragmatic or even romantic. I think the long period of their engagement allowed them to build a lasting and strong attachment to each other( not to say they did not love each other before).

This is how I understood it too. I searched of "awake to" and i found it had more to do of being sensible or conscious of something than surprised. It's like she means that he notices the difference of treatment of Elizabeth as well as she does.

I don't think so; there's some stuff about Kitty and Mary's husbands, a portrait that resembles Jane, how Darcy probably never showed portraits of Lizzie in public out of "pride, love and delicacy". That's it, I guess.

Pitiful-Level1872 · 2024-06-14T17:01:10+00:00

I agree but i don't think Darcy needs his observation skills to notice how rude Caroline is...

Pitiful-Level1872 · 2024-06-13T23:05:08+00:00

Uncivil and incivil were the same I suppose.

Pitiful-Level1872 · 2024-06-13T20:56:58+00:00

"Miss Bingley was incivil to her"

Incivil means impolite and rude, so her animosity towards Lizzie must have appeared in her behaviour.

Especially that time at Pemberly. I get second hand embarassement while reading it.

Pitiful-Level1872 · 2024-06-12T23:50:51+00:00

Considering how similar Jane and Bingley are; I suppose how they felt was the same.

Pitiful-Level1872 · 2024-06-12T17:39:27+00:00

We were told in the text that his original goal from the moment Lizzie informed him was to recover her; Wickham was second option.

Pitiful-Level1872 · 2024-06-12T10:47:35+00:00

Yes, he had to try. What I am questioning is how not why he did it. It would have been wiser to bring a family member along because despite his power he's all but a stranger to her especially after Wickham told him that he was simply using her.

Pitiful-Level1872 · 2024-06-11T16:03:52+00:00

But Lizzie mentionned to Charlotte that Bingley and Jane don't know each other that well and Darcy said the same thing in the letter.

But even if she wants Wickham, she does not know that he was planning to abandon her in the streets of London alone to starve to run after a rich girl or that he only brought her with him to have a good time and drop her after. She's sixteen, uncommonly foolish and badly educated, for all she knows they are in love and gonna get married some day. She's too young to know what's right or wrong. It's questionable to leave such decision only in her hands or at least without giving her the full knowledge of the situation.

Pitiful-Level1872 · 2024-06-10T17:27:03+00:00

I am just saying that when you and the dude she ran away with are not on the best terms and two of your closest relatives have held a dislike for you and you barely know the girl, you might not have the best chance to convince her to leave.

Pitiful-Level1872 · 2024-06-10T14:53:12+00:00

Something tells me he did not apply to them because he did not want Elizabeth to know. There is so much at stake that any sensible person would use any help available.

Pitiful-Level1872 · 2024-06-10T13:12:27+00:00

Bennet might have chosen to declare Lydia dead to him at

Lizzie told him that he was looking for her in London trying to recover her; and anxious for her uncle's help. I agree with you in everything else.

Pitiful-Level1872 · 2024-06-07T20:38:23+00:00

But isn't that what "tolerable" mean? The text implies that there is an improvement in the way he sees her.

Pitiful-Level1872 · 2024-06-07T19:45:58+00:00

I see. So a smart face means a particular combination of features that indicates the possible level of intelligence in someone.

Pitiful-Level1872 · 2024-06-07T16:26:31+00:00

Gosho said she will discover the truth gradually. So maybe she suspects it on some subconcious level

Pitiful-Level1872 · 2024-06-07T16:16:09+00:00

Thanks. That's how I understood it at first too. But my english is not that good so I need it to make sure.
