@beexcessivelydiverting@bookstodon this makes me think of Anne Elliott telling Mrs. Smith that She doesn't believe Mr. Elliott can be trusted - because He always says the right thing, and is consistently agreeable and never offends anyone.
@beexcessivelydiverting@bookstodon when Elizabeth's aunt writes and says how much She really likes Darcy- it dawned on me what perfect complements They are for each other. and when Elizabeth shuts down Lady Catherine- it became certain. but just now, i was thinking of the real point. Lady Catherine and Mr. Collins are blind. because Their hearts are closed. and the promise of prodigious joy for Darcy and Elizabeth- is exactly because Their hearts are open. reserved is really closed, isn't it?
@beexcessivelydiverting@bookstodon What 2005 film? As far as I'm concerned, there is no screen adaptation of Pride and Prejudice other than the 1995 BBC miniseries. All others are dead to me. 🙂
