Mr. Darcy
Mr. Darcy's marriage proposal was a total failure for many reasons. The first being the most obvious, he is an arrogant man who speaks down to the very woman he supposedly loves. He states how everything in the universe and even his own judgment tell him not to love or propose to her, but that he must resist because it is the best thing for her. He acts as if he is doing her a favor by marrying her and he even states that she is below him in certain archaic language. When she tries to tell him of the reasons she doesn't trust him he appears to lash out immaturely. He might have had better luck if he had treated her with respect and shown real love for her instead of a pity proposal. He also might not want to tell people that it is against his better judgment that he loves them before asking for their hand in marriage. It kind of takes the romance out of it.

Yes, his proposal was a complete failure from the get go. It sounded more like he wanted to start an argument than marry her. Because the lack of his better judgement, he still wanted to ask her to marry him. As far as romance, I think she is still waiting for that.
ReplyDeleteMr. Darcy' proposal was an absolute failure. First off the proposal was not one of love or even undying lust. His proposal came off as one that was not even considered fully. His proposal lacked any emotion. I agree with Crysthel if he had treated her with respect and shown her that he loved her rather than pitied her she might have took his proposal seriously. Him stating that against his better judgement he loved her sounded more like even though he loved her he did not want to love her. And having someone propose to you just to spite himself is worst than marrying someone for money. I think he would have had a better chance of her accepting his marriage proposal if he had offered her money to marry him, because the proposal he gave was the worst proposal I have ever seen and even a person who was madly i love would not have accepted that proposal.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad we all agree that this is not how a marriage proposal should be. Women should feel the intense desire from her lover every day. It should be especially let out at the time of a proposal. I have never seen the movie but it didn't even seem like they had any sort of past. They did not have any passion for each other or none the less love. Mr. Darcy made it seem like being married would just be an obligation, not something that was meant to be. He would have been better off if he could overcome his arrogance.
