[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What do you make of the fact that Elizabeth's feelings toward him soften when she sees Pemberley?[/quote] That isn't what happens in the book, though I rather fault the excellent 1996 miniseries for giving that impression while Jennifer Ehle looks around the estate all enchanted (girl meets House). In the book, she understands his sense of self-consequence better seeing where he comes from, but it is the housekeeper's stories and opinion of Darcy vs. her opinion of Wickham that make Elizabeth think twice and consider how much responsibility Darcy has for the well-being of everyone who depends on him, and how responsible a person he is and how much he thinks about others, [i]unlike Wickham.[/i] She also gives weight to the high opinion people have of Darcy who have known him all his life. Then Darcy comes along and is really friendly and open to her City relatives who make their living in trade, and that leaves her thinking 3 times.[/quote]
