Scene 2: Darcy’s Proposal
Amidst the terrible trauma of Lydia’s scandalous disappearance, Darcy finally admits to himself and his friends his true feelings for Lizzy, but conveys them with over-much arrogance and is ill-received by the proud Lizzy. Indeed, Lizzy tells Darcy that if he were the last man on earth, she would never marry him: “From the very beginning, from the first moment I may al- most 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 immovable 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.”
