M o st o f t he person t hought i n Pr i de and Prejud ice w o m en have been po rtrayed by nove list i n m any w ays . A s a ma tter of fact , M r . D arcy o ccup i es a pivota l po siti on i n the wo rk and he has t he equal i m po rtant p l ace w ith hero i ne M i ss E lizabe t h . So if you want t o kno w D arcy s character very w e l, l you w ill unde r stand P ri d e and P rejudice fro m t he o t her ang le .

2. 1D arcy s fa m ily backg round

Da rcy is a nob l e descen t and he i nher its an enor m ous a m ount o f property . So he never wo rries abou t h i s own food , clothing , shelte r and transpo rtati on . H e disli kes m ak i ng fr i ends w it h comm on peop l e ; he is a se lf-w ill ed m an and he li kes to do m i nate h i s c l ose friends . But he is a fi ne , ta ll person w ith handso m e feat u res . W hen he dea ls w ith the re lati ons w ith W ick ha m, the resu lt i s fa i r and reasonab l e and none o f critic i s m. M r . W ickham is t he son o fO ld D arcy s housekeeper , so O l d D arcy s k i ndness is li bera ll y bestow ed . In O l d D arcy s w ill he particu larly reco mmended it to D arcy to prom ote W ickham s advance m ent i n the best m anner t hat his pro fession m i ght a ll ow, and if W ickham took orders , desired tha t a va l uab le fa m ily li v i ng m i ght be his as soon as it beca m e vacant . T here was a lso a legacy of one thousand pounds . Bu tW ickha m s life w as a lif e o f i d l eness and d i ssi pati on , he w as not i nterested in the o rder . A nd W ick ha m sa i d to D arcy , he has fi nall y reso lved against tak i ng o rders , he hoped D arcy should not thi nk it unreasonab le for hi m to expect som e m ore i m m ediate pecun i a ry advantage , i n li eu of the prefer m ent by wh ich he coul d no t be benefited . So M r . D arcy

gave W ickha m three t housand pounds acco rd i ng to h i s request . T hen M r . D arcy not on l y carr i ed out his father s w ill but also satisfiedW ickha m s amb iti on . Bu t , after W ickham spent free l y h i s three thousand pounds , he w anted t o g et the c l ergy m an s positi on. T he i dea was refused na t ura lly by D arcy . T hen W ick ha m

abduc ted M r . D arcy s young and i gno rant sister , and let her e l oped w ith h i m . F ortunate l y D a rcy reached the p lace i m m e d i ately and put an end to W ickham s sche m es and tr i cks . But D a rcy did not i nvestigate t he ung ra tefulW i ckha m and he hi m self d i d no t expand the i nfl uence because o f i n f ur i ation . A nd he did not tell anybody even h is good friend B i ng ley. So w e can say , when M r . D arcy i s i n a rage he can contro l h i m se lf by sense , he not only preserves h is si ster s reputation but a lso lets W ickha m leave the place qu i e tl y . In those nob l es , D arcy has plenty of bra i ns . So we can call h i m a true m an .

W hen M r . D arcy deals w ith such a knotty relati on , it sho w s tha t he is an open-m inded , magnan i m ousm an , it sho w s t hat he has defi n ite v i ew s of his own and has sense of propr i e t y . Then the autho r , Jane A usten sa i d ! It i s right tha tw ha t Da rcy does . ? H o w ever , when D a rcy dea l s w ith the deepest e m otion of hu m an be i ng s #l ove s re l a ti on , he undergoes t he tor m ent about sens i b ili ty and sense . H is fee li ng is m i xed , he is at t he end of his tether . T he beautif u l expression o f E lizabeth s da rk eyes , the li ve l y , playful cha racter and her easy , una ffected dispo siti on at tracts D arcy . In the Chapter V III o f t he w ork , the author g ives us a h i nt ! IsM i ss D arcy much grown si nce the spr i ng? ? M iss B ing ley askedM r . D arcy ; ! w ill she be as ta ll as I am? ? ! I th i nk she w il, l she i s now aboutM i ss E li zabeth Benne t s he i ght , or rather ta ller . ?

2. 2D arcy s sense

T he O l d T i ppler s deli ght resides not i n w i ne but in the m ounta i ns and wa ters . D a rcy j udges his dea r sister s fi gure by E lizabe t h , the de licate p l ace i s t hat i n fact he a l w ays perce i ves E lizabe t h and l oves the young m i ddle class l ady . But he contro ls h i s own fee ling fi rm ly , espec i a lly he does no t express his thoughts . T hen there a re m any d ifferences bet w een t hose m en who fa ll in l ove at the first si ght and l ove fast but g ive up fast . A t the sa m e ti m e , D arcy s sense m akes hi m has no end of w orr i es on the l ove . H e dislikes M rs . Bennet s vu l gar is m, he has seen

through m i ddle c l ass soc ial i nte rcourse s place i n H artfield on l y the m arket t hat m arry daughters . In a wo rd , t he traditiona l prej udiced though ts fette r h i s cho ice about l ove . In h is l ove , D arcy show s h i s contrad icti on on sens i bility and sense . A nd t he contra d i ction i s m ade o f fa l sehood . O n t he develop m ent of the story , he co rrects his false feeli ng fina lly and develops his fee ling , a t last he fu lfills h i s happy m arr i age .

Sense is adjusted reasonably by e m oti onal e ffect ; emo ti on can deve l op hea lt h ily because it has reasonab l e cond iti ona lit y . It is the pr i nciple tha t Jane A usten uses w hen she creates D arcy s character .

But D arcy s e m otion and sense are no t abstract , because they have socia l conten t and e ra s co l o r . Jane A usten had nev er m arried , one reason w as that she never found her i dea l lover , the o t her reason m ay be the gentle m an d i ed suddenly . A usten m et w it h h i m in the sho re and she ever loved h i m . The pa i n al w ays ex isted i n the w o m an author s m ind , so s he crea ted D arcy , the m an s cha racte r t h rough w o m an spec i a l carefu l i m ag ina ti on . She put her own opi n i ons about m an s cha racte r and l ove s i deal on Da rcy s character . T hen , the m an s cha racte r , D arcy had the de m ands and love wh ich w o m en i m ag i ned . A nd it expressed Jane A usten s opi n i on about l ove .

Da rcy does no t li ke t hat k i nd of w o m en who only can pa i nt tables , cover screens , and net purses and w ho only w ant to beco m e m en s accesso ries . H e still asks wom en to read m any books , w i den the i r know l edge , hav e rea l ability and learn i ng . To m arriage , D arcy i s a ser i ous m an ; to E lizabeth , he i s head over heels i n l ove . H e sti cks to the rea l love as ma rriage s basi s and Da rcy pays great attention to the e m oti onal factor i n the m arriag e and he th i nks h i ghly of love s p l ace .
