Notable Quotations from Pride and Prejudice
by Alexander
"The more I see of the world, the more am I dissatisfied with it" (Austen 104).
"I certainly have not the talent which some people possess [...] of conversing easily with those I have never seen before. I cannot catch their tone of conversation, or appear interested in their concerns, as I often see done" (Austen 135).
"A slovenly and neglected manner of Writing, is a disobliging mark of want of respect" (Blair).

P&P is the one with Darcy, right? Did you know that Brigitte Jones's Diary is a modern P&P? They even cast colin firth as her main man (whose character name was also Darcy) becaue he was in the 1995 bbc mini-series version playing that character.
ReplyDeletealso - my mum just finished reading the book and liked it
Yes, Darcy is a character. I've only read half of it for my course. I like it so far, but it's nothing spectacular.
