Darcy's+Proposal-+6th+Period

While Elizabeth stayed home alone for the day due to her headache, the doorbell rang and she expected it to be Colonel Fitzwilliam. When she opened the door, she found out that it was not him but Mr. Darcy. Mr. Darcy started conversation by asking if she was alright and then began very slowly about how he feels about her. After telling her everything and insulting her at the same time, he hoped to be rewarded by her acceptance of his hand. Unfortunately for him, she objected by stating how he had ruined her sisters happiness by dividing Mr. Bingley from Jane and for that she thinks ill of him. Mr. Darcy left Elizabeth to herself after a very long argument about how cruel Mr. Darcy is and how stuck up he is. After which, she began to cry and reflect upon what all had happened.
 * //__Darcy's Proposal __//**

**//__Present__//**

Elizabeth Bennet and Mr. Darcy were the only people present during this proposal.

**//__Effect__//**

This event took a very big toll on both Mr. Darcy and Elizabeth. Mr. Darcy's pride is breaking apart now because of it and he feels completely unintelligent. Elizabeth, on the other hand, is astonished and very surprised. She is surprised that Mr. Darcy of all men would ask for her hand in marriage and is in love with her and has been for many months. She is astonished and hurt that he would tear apart Mr. Bingley and Jane, especially since he feels the way he does for her.

**//__Quotes:__//**

//"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."// - Mr. Darcy (Austen, 171)//"And this is all the reply which I am to have the honour of expecting! I might, perhaps, wish to be informed why, with so little endeavor at civility, I am thus rejected. But it is of small importance." -// Mr. Darcy (Austen, 172)//"From the very beginning, from the first moment I may almost say, of my acquaintance with you, your manners, impressing me with the fullest belief of your arrogance, your conceit, and your selfish disdain of the feelings of others, were such as to form that ground-work of disapprobation, on which succeeding events have built so immoveable a dislike; and I had not known you a month before I felt that you were the last man in the world whom I could ever be prevailed on to marry." -// Elizabeth Bennet (Austen, 175)
