Charming, beautiful, stunning, polite, and a gentleman, at least after getting over your first impression of Mr. Darcy.
Upon first meeting Mr. Darcy, he may come off as arrogant and conceited. His failure to dance with or acknowledge the females at the Pemberley ball forced this opinion of him on others, especially because his reason for not dancing or talking to the other girls was because there was no one beautiful enough. As time elapsed, the one who seemed to detest Mr. Darcy the most was soon changing her opinion of him. Mr. Darcy dropped the wall in front of him that wasn’t allowing him to show people who he really was, and explained to Elizabeth why it may appear as if he had a cold demeanor through a letter. Mr. Darcy’s true character shined after everyone realized that they were initially wrong about him.
Mr. Darcy is a mentos. When first seeing one, you are fooled by its hard, sugar coated surface, thinking that it will be more like a hall rather than a starburst. After having the mentos in your mouth for a while, you realize its chewy center, how soft it is, and how soft your breath is about to be.
Mr. Darcy is like George Clooney, both private and reserved people, but once their tough exteriors are broken down they have gentle souls.
