Oh, My #2
That was the most unbearable marriage proposal I have ever heard. Mr. Darcy, is a self-centered, arrogant, and selfish person. His arrogance and manners are much to be desired. His marriage proposal seemed more of a pity plea for the person who was asking to marry. Because of his lack of respect for her as well as other individuals, she was disgusted. The words were more for a fight than a marriage proposal, it was all about him and is feelings. This seemed to be more of a charity proposal than a heart-felt proposal. He was not convincing that he deeply wanted to marry her. Since she declined his offer of marriage, he seemed shocked that she turned him down. It is obvious that he is a rich and well to do person, and feels that he is entitled. This was a disaster from beginning to end, and the way that he was doing her a favor because it was against his better judgement to propose to her. What a joke this guy is.
Do you ever think a guy like this could find a woman? I am guessing the person that wrote this play centered this character upon someone they knew. It is shocking to know that someone really would be that way.
ReplyDeleteI couldn't agree more with both of you. If a guy did this now a days, they would have a big red mark on the side of their face, maybe even a few teeth missing. I think he was more focused on himself than how she felt. He talked about everything everyone would think and say and how it would affect him so because he was going against so many things to "be with her", leaving no regards for how she may have felt or how bad she would be looked upon. I don't believe anyone like this would ever be able to find a woman unless it was an arranged marriage and the poor woman had no choice.
