How Can You Not Love Mr. Darcy?

Even though he's carried as being prideful, rude and occasionally a jerk, Darcy is still amazing.

Ask anyone who has had a literature course, there's a good chance they have read Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice. This classic story takes on the typical love story, but of course it's Jane Austen, and well she always has to add in the sassy.

But as I begin to re-read Pride and Prejudice, for the fourth time, it still baffles me to why Mr. Darcy is so attractive. What is it that makes Mr. Darcy so attractive?

Well, I have come up with a small list as to why I think Mr. Darcy is goals! And of course using the 2004 adaption.

1. Mr. Darcy adores his little sister, and is willing to do anything for her!

2. He's quiet, yet there is a mystery to him.

3. He's pretty opinionated, which isn't always a bad thing. His opinions just kind of make him a straight up jerk. Yet, you still love him!

4. He loves hard! Throughout the entire book, we can sense he is in love with Elizabeth, but fails to show her immediately, so he kind of just hides and makes really rude remarks towards her. It's pretty hilarious.

5. He's honest about his feelings, well kind of. To a certain extent...

6. And how can you not love him for his awkward confession to Elizabeth! He basically just says he's so tormented and can't handle his love for her, and then proposes. Way to go Darcy...

7. Regardless of him occasionally being rude, prideful and just a plain pain in the butt, he is still an amazing character most of us have fallen for. His mystery and his kindness lures us back into loving him so much! I mean how can you not love him?

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
