“In vain have I struggled. It will not do. My feelings will not be repressed. You must allow me to tell you how ardently I admire and love you” (188).
Mr. Darcy has randomly appeared at the Parsonage and his visit is being very much questioned by others. His sudden appearance leads us to infer that he is fond of Lizzy. There is also a different type of attitude coming from Elizabeth towards Mr. Darcy, because for once she is in a way complementing him instead of butchering his name: “I do not know any body who seems more to enjoy the power of doing what he likes than Mr. Darcy” (182). And just when Elizabeth started to be nice to Mr. Darcy, she rejects Mr. Darcy’s proposal in a manner that was uncalled for, especially after his meaningful proposal to Elizabeth. Darcy also shows to Elizabeth just how much he cares and how she is wrong about him through the very long letter written to Elizabeth. At the beginning of the novel, author Jane Austen persuaded her audience to develop a dislike towards Mr. Darcy. In the Second Volume, we see that Jane Austen is persuading us to be more sympathetic for Mr. Darcy. Personally, it is working.
What was the main purpose of Mr. Darcy’s letter to Elizabeth:
a. To gain sympathy from her
b. So that she would reconsider his proposal
c. His final goodbye
d. So that Elizabeth can understand Mr. Darcy
e. A,b, and d.
