He says he can accept that-but will either of them ever be truly happy in a relationship of unequal affection?ĭiverging from Jane Austen’s classic novel Pride and Prejudice at the proposal in the Hunsford parsonage, this story explores the kind of man Darcy is, even before his “proper humbling,” and how such a man, so full of pride, so much in love, might have behaved had Elizabeth chosen to accept his original proposal. The incentives for her to accept him are strong, but she is honest enough to tell him that she does not return his affections. She, on the other hand, is poor, and can expect a future of increasing poverty if she does not marry. What she knows is that he is rich, handsome, clever, and very much in love with her. Darcy’s passionate avowal of love causes Elizabeth to reevaluate everything she thought she knew about him.
