Week 6 DP #1
Mr. Darcy prepared a marriage proposal that was highly ineffective. He did not ask for the lady’s hand in marriage from his heart. His speech also reflected his personality. The lady he proposed already had negative feelings about Mr. Darcy. She thought he was arrogant, cocky, selfish, and insensitive. Which during his proposal I felt the same way about him. First of all, he was standing up while she was sitting down and showing not a single sign of affection. He also said he that his decision to ask for marriage was against the wishes of his family, his friends and his own better judgment. The women doesn’t respond well to him. She is firm in her words also and tells him exactly how she feels about him. His proposal left her feeling humiliated and offended. Mr. Darcy should have been more sensitive to her feelings if he were to get any where close to connecting with the woman. The last thing you want to do is insult the woman you want to marry. Mr. Darcy failed because he was being entirely selfish in his proposal. He did not once consider any feelings besides his. Marriage is unity and is not functional as anything else.

I agree with Brittany one hundred percent, Mr. Darcy's marriage proposal was highly ineffective. He did not speak from his heart at all when he asked for her hand in marriage. Mr. Darcy did not show any signs of affection. The way he proposed to her was not only cocky, selfish, and undesirable. If he really wanted to marry the young lady he should have wanted her to feel comfortable in his presence as well as want her to believe that he truly had feelings for her and not doing this out of spite or whatever reasons were behind his proposal. Marriage is definitely uniting two personalities together and if both parties are not going to be loved and cherished then there should not be a union at all.
ReplyDeleteI found his proposal to be cocky and arrogant. I also felt tere was know love or care when he proposed. If someone made me feel that they had to marry me, I would feel insulted and humiliated. Men need to know it's not what people want it's what you want as a person.
