Inés Bustamante Pride and Prejudice Charecter Sketch Mr. Darcy

Mr. Darcy in Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen is a wealthy young man. At first he may come off as arrogant to the reader, but his soft and intellectual side are later made clear by his actions towards Elizabeth Bennet. He comes off as extremely bord and uninterested with his fellow townsmen. He seems to think that he is better than everyone else around him. Elizabeth is a poor young woman born in situations that are beneath her potential. She is extremely intelligent and quick witted,and is very much like Mr. Darcy. She however thinks too low of him to love him at first. He is obviously Elizabeth Bennet's perfect match, however neither of them realize this until later in the story. At first Mr. Darcy thinks too much of himself to acknowledge his attraction towards her. All he can think about is the "inferiority of [Elizabeth Bennet's] circumstances."(34) This is a great quote because it shows both his self consciousness about Elizabeth and his seeming lack of charm. In the end they both set aside their pride and their prejudice and are able to love each other.
