One of my favorite lines from P and P comes right as Lizzy dances with Mr. Darcy. "They stood for some time without speaking a word; and she began to imagine that their silence was to last through the two dances, and at first was resolved not to break it; till suddenly, fancying that it would be the greater punishment to her partner to oblige him to talk, she made some slight observation on the dance. He replied, and was again silent. After a pause of some minutes she addressed him a second time with, "It is your turn to say something now, Mr. Darcy -- I talked about the dance, and you ought to make some kind of remark on the size of the room, or the number of couples." I always chuckle thinking that she decided to punish him with conversation.
Truly said Conversatn skills poor in D.. But his dancing abilities for a personwho didnt dance with Women slighted by other men... Too good... His vacant stares when people converse with him...or his going to Window to stare outside... Indeed not without.a cause.. His fac lighting up only when Liz around... Firth captures and dominates all scenes due to This ability of his.. Undoubtedly😉😊💜😎🎊
I love that we can see Jane and Bingley dance, and how they stare are each other with affection and longing while Elisabeth gives a critical eye to Darcy and Darcy is trying not to show affection through his stare
Yes, the electricity between Darcy and Elizabeth is, well, electric. And love the way it builds up from an undercurrent to sizzling hot. We know that Darcy is in denial in the earlier stages, although he cracks long before Lizzie does. But I kinda feel that Lizzie, at a subconscious level, is in denial too, even before she begins to come round to Darcy after reading his letter spelling out the facts about Wickham?
Darcy..probably afraid of being caught ..in love Perhaps..true..its not an emotion that can be hidden and Darcy ..the good actor is shown Unable to hide his emotions..whenever Liz is around... Watching her every move...as she's smart...witty intelligent..knowledgable...mature...and above all..her having her own opinion and able to converse with anyone.. The social skills which he doesnt Possess..admittedly by him ..😜😹
If only she had visited Pemberly around this time she would have heard the housekeeper's praise for Mr Darcy and be able to make out his character more easily.
I expect she would have simply chalked it up to the housekeeper's loyalty or looking at her employer through rose-tinted glasses. It wasn't until Darcy himself explained the situation with Wickham in his letter that she began to see.
@@soledadferrer1325 In the book, in order to persuade Wickham to marry Lydia, Darcy must pay Wickham's debts, totaling 1,000 pounds (at least $80,000 in today's money), in addition to buying his commission at about 450 pounds ($36,000). Mr. Bennet also conjectures that "Wickham's a fool if he takes her for less than ten thousand pounds," meaning that Darcy probably also paid Wickham an additional $800,000.
@@E3ECO True She happily decided to only listen to ill said about him after The royal insult she recieved from him nd her deserved mother..who created a rift of sorts betn two when he refused to dance with her daughter..inspite of Mother chiding him to 💃with her daughter...😉😎😋😻 Wthout even glancing at her....
@@Knappa22 No. The Playford-Dances were most forgotten after the 1720s. In the 1920s there was a "renaissance" of these dances. In the time of Jane Austen were the dances of the present time in fashion, dances from the publications of Thompson, Preston, Cahusac etc..
