pride and prejudice

"From the first moment I met you, your arrogance made me realize that you were the last man in the world I could ever marry. " - elizabeth bennet

"You must know - surely you must know that it was all for you... I would have to tell you, you have bewitched me body and soul and I love and love and love you. And never wish to be parted from you from this day forward." - mr darcy



pride - refusal to admit that one was wrong
prejudice - hasty prejudgements

the lovely ball scenes reminded me of the age of innocence. i love elizabeth's wit, darcy's reticence, and the gradual progression from ugly disdain to bubbling affection.
