I've been watching Lost in Austen on DVD. It's a rather random mini-series about a woman in London who changes places with Elizabeth Bennett and proceeds to muck up Pride and Prejudice, while trying to get the story moving. I have loved Darcy since the minute I picked Pride and Prejudice. But alas, I have realised that he is a twat. I'm distressed.
PATTOTE: Better living through fictional heroes, cause real heroes are thin on the ground.
ah - but surely Darcy is but a twat in that version. Perhaps the original Darcy is the real Darcy - the one of quiet diplomacy and romance and loveliness.
ReplyDeleteDon't give up on Darcy.
I hope so! It would be so awful if rude, insufferable men did in fact have no redeeming qualities.
ReplyDeleteAh, Fitzwilliam.
