Mr. Darcy. A man with so much handsome, aristocratic polish, that varnish would be jealous. A literary work of perfection. I wish I could say that this article will have a good thesis, but the only lede I can promise is: Mr. Darcy. Basically, this piece will be entirely dedicated to ogling and “fangirling” over the infamous Fitzwilliam Darcy.

1. Not only is Mr. Darcy born into a life where he ought to be gentlemanly, his character progresses into a self-sacrificing chivalrous god.

2. He is an INTJ, and let’s be real, they are the best (I’m an INTJ as well, and somehow, that makes me feel closer to him).

3. This man is upfront with his feelings. Let’s be real, is there anything more attractive?

4. It doesn't matter how rude he's being, pride can only go so far when faced by the perfection of Mr. Darcy.

5. His smile. Need I say more? #swoon

6. It doesn’t matter how cynical he looks, a man who drinks tea like a gentleman is a man worth loving forever.

7. In the end, whether you preferred Colin Firth or Matthew Macfadyen’s portrayal of Mr. Darcy, I think we can all agree that he is the pure definition of a babe.

So, to leave you all with the stars in your eyes and the warmth of love in your hearts, here is one of the most swoon-worthy quotes, “You are too generous to trifle with me. If your feelings are still what they were last April, tell me so at once. My affections and wishes are unchanged; but one word from you will silence me on this subject for ever." Respectful and seductive. Aside from his pride and prejudice, I think we can all agree that after finding his perfection within the confines of a paper spine, we all have a soft spot for tall brunettes.
