Pride and Prejudice Becoming Jane Bennet

If Jane said at first that her headache was just an excuse, but when she returned to the vicarage, she found that her head really hurt, and she didn't know whether she was too troubled or just blown too much wind. .

Mr. and Mrs. Collins and Maria were packing for the tea party at Rosings Manor. Several people were surprised when they saw Jane's appearance. Mr. Collins immediately asked her if she could still go to the tea party. Jane could only apologize. told him frankly that he might not be able to go, and asked the Collinses and Maria to leave them alone and go with Colonel Fitzwilliam.

"Are you sure, Jane?" Charlotte asked worriedly. "You know, I'd love to stay here with you."

"My dear Charlotte," said Mr. Collins immediately in shock, "please think about it! How shall I explain it to Lady Catherine!"

"I'm fine," Jane said quickly, "Charlotte, you don't have to worry, I just blew the wind for too long, so I have some headaches, I believe it will pass soon."

"Let me send for the doctor, Miss Bennet, you do look unwell," said Colonel Fitzwilliam.

"No, please don't bother, thank you." Jane looked at him and said, "I just need to take a break..."

She looked at Colonel Fitzwilliam's gesture of wanting to stay, and quickly added: "I believe it would be better for me to stay alone."

"We'll explain it to Lady Catherine, then," said Colonel Fitzwilliam.

Since Colonel Fitzwilliam, Mrs. Catherine's nephew, had already spoken, and Jane's complexion was indeed unsightly, Mr. Collins naturally couldn't say anything more, and because the time for the tea party was approaching, the group of people was in a hurry out the door.

Jane stood in the deserted front hall, sighed, walked to the living room and sat down, propped her hair up for a while, picked up the unfinished letters and read them carefully, after reading this one Finally, she took out all the letters from Elizabeth that she had received since she came to Kent, and wrote them one by one.

To Jane's consolation, Elizabeth's writing was now without a trace of gloom, and her moods were all joyful, and it seemed that all the lingering influence of Mr. Bingley had disappeared.

This made Jane feel better, but she still couldn't help being a little angry.She had always known that Mr. Bingley was an indecisive man.But people often say that love can change a person.Although Mr. Bingley has some flaws in character, it will be good for him if he can be with such a decisive and resolute person as his sister Elizabeth, and Elizabeth is sometimes a little paranoid, and Mr. Bingley is so gentle and tolerant. It is also beneficial to be together, not to mention that the two love each other so much-Jane has never seen her sister like someone so much.These two could have become a happy couple, but because of the difference in status between the two, they were severely torn apart like this!

Jane didn't know the main reason for Mr. Bingley's departure this time. The difference in the background of the two families alone was not enough to make Mr. Bingley let go of his feelings for Elizabeth, but no matter what the reason was, it could not stop Jane from loving Bingley. Mr. Gray leaves easily, to the exasperation of his own sister at the embarrassing situation.She had expected that the Bingley sisters would play a part in this matter, but she was unwilling to think that Mr. Darcy had played an insignificant role in this matter.In the original book, he convinced Mr. Bingley that the lady had no affection for him because Jane's feelings were not revealed, but what method did he use this time to prevent Mr. Bingley from returning to Netherfield?

At this moment, the doorbell rang, and Jane looked up, feeling a little surprised, thinking about who the Collinses, Maria, and Colonel Fitzwilliam would be visiting now.She stacked the letter papers spread out, put them on the table at hand, stood up and adjusted her appearance, and waited for the arrival of the guests. It seemed unexpected and reasonable, and the one who walked into the room was Mr Darcy.

"I'm sorry to disturb you, but I hope you are feeling better," said Mr. Darcy, on entering.

While talking, he quickly bowed slightly to Jane, then skipped Jane's side and walked to the other side of the room.

Jane looked at Mr. Darcy passing by her like a cold whirlwind in amazement, and said, "I'm really better, thank you."

She sat down again in her chair, looked at Mr. Darcy, and said: "Mr. and Mrs. Collins, and Maria have called on you at Rosings Park. Perhaps you have met them?"

"Yes," said Mr. Darcy, turning somewhat disturbedly, "yes, I did meet them."

Jane nodded clearly. Seeing that Mr. Darcy was still standing absent-mindedly, she asked him to sit down, but Mr. Darcy didn't seem to hear her talking. He reacted under the gaze of her, walked to the side of the room, sat down on the chair farthest from her, and after sitting for a while, he stood up again, pacing up and down the room restlessly.

Jane looked at these unusual actions of this gentleman in surprise, and couldn't help asking: "Are you all right, Mr. Darcy?"

"I'm fine!" Mr. Darcy quickly looked back at Jane and said, "I'm fine!"

As if he had finally made up his mind, he walked up to Jane with an excited expression.

"I'm just struggling...but I really can't go on!" He said, "I once thought about staying away from you, and I wanted to eliminate your influence on me through distance. I have repeatedly reminded myself that this kind of feeling is not right. Appropriate, but it is of no avail. The emotions within me grow stronger the more I restrain them, and now I am completely unable to suppress them, and I do not want to suppress them any longer. Allow me to tell you how passionately I admire you, adore you!"

Jane was dumbfounded and speechless, but strangely, her heart was suddenly swept by a strong joy and joy.

"Miss Bennet, I know what you are," continued Mr. Darcy, "you are honest, so I will be honest. I was once very painful when I realized my feelings for you." , I know what I did would be against the wishes of my family, against the views of my friends, not to mention against my own sanity..."

He met Jane's gaze towards him and said: "Our family backgrounds are very different, and the classes of people we come into contact with are also very different, which will make our feelings not accepted by most people. My reason is so alert to myself , This is also the reason for my struggle, but everything is in vain."

He looked at Jane fixedly and said: "From the moment I first met you, I have already felt a strong admiration and affection for you from the bottom of my heart. I want to get close to you, miss, I can't control myself, and the more I get along with you The closer I get, the stronger this admiration and affection will be. Although I have struggled repeatedly, my emotions still surpass my reason. Now I strongly beg you, please promise to be my wife and release my pain."

Jane lowered her eyes and didn't respond for several minutes. Her heart that was initially swept by joy had gradually cooled down. She felt Mr. Darcy's deep affection for her. The problem was solved at once.But at the same time, she was also deeply aware of his views on his family. He felt that she came from a humble background, and that he was accommodating her and belittling himself by marrying her... He stood there, obviously thinking that she would undoubtedly give He answered with satisfaction.

When Jane's lowered eyes fell on the stack of letters at hand, thinking of what Colonel Fitzwilliam told her, a wave of anger rushed into Jane's heart again, and mixed emotions intertwined, making her at a loss for what to do. Open your mouth.

"Thank you very much for your kindness to me..." she finally said, "and thank you for your frankness, but please forgive me... I must refuse you."

The effect of these words was astonishing. Mr. Darcy's face turned blue instantly, and his dark brown eyes stared at Jane, looking shocked and angry.He stood there without speaking for a long time. He tried his best to maintain his composure, but failed in the end. He turned his head and walked to the place where the clock tower was placed on the other side of the room, and stretched out his hand to cover his face with his back to Jane. Face.Jane followed him involuntarily, and saw Mr. Darcy's sad and disappointed expression from the mirror behind the clock tower, which made her feel sad.

"I'm sorry to have hurt you," Jane said, "I didn't mean to."

"That's all your answers?" Mr. Darcy turned to Jane when he finally managed to adjust his emotions. "Perhaps I can ask you why you 'must refuse' me?"

Jane looked at him and said: "Since you have said that your feelings for me are against your will, your reason, and even your character, then why should I accept you?"

After a pause, she continued: "You also said that your feelings for me caused you pain and struggle, and your meaning also showed that your reason is now overwhelmed by your emotions, which gives me reason to believe that when I When your sanity comes back, will you still say such things to me?"

Mr. Darcy frowned fiercely, stared at Jane and asked, "Do you think my proposal to you is an impulsive move?"

"Isn't it?" Jane retorted.

"No, of course not!" cried Mr. Darcy.

Jane couldn't help frowning, and said, "Please calm down, sir."

But her words had no effect, and Mr. Darcy seemed, on the contrary, to be irritated by what she said.

"Calm down? Huh—calm down?" Mr. Darcy said sarcastically, his emotions obviously out of control, "I really should be calm!"

He took a few steps to the chair where he sat before, picked up the top hat and cane that he put down when he entered the door, and walked towards the door, but when he came in front of Jane, he froze again, turned around and stared at Jane Said: "My behavior, my actions are completely deliberate. What makes you think that I proposed to you impulsively? Because I said my hesitation and hurt your self-esteem? Maybe I should have hidden my struggles and flattered you so maybe you wouldn't care about it? But you and I both hate any kind of pretense and I'm not ashamed of my concerns, which come naturally! "

Jane couldn't help frowning fiercely, and said, "If you think I'm that kind of person, then I have nothing to say. You really don't have to be ashamed of your concerns, because your concerns are also mine."

She looked at her husband in amazement, took a deep breath, and continued: "My family and I are one, sir, you can't separate me from my family, your identity, your It is true that the status is much superior to that of me and my family, but it is not enough for me to accept a man who despises my family and, by doing so, ruins the happiness of my dearest sister."

Mr. Darcy stared at Jane fiercely, and stood there speechless for a moment.

"Can you deny that you did it?" asked Jane.

Mr. Darcy felt a little embarrassed by her question, he subconsciously avoided Jane's sight, but soon he turned his head back.

"I don't want to deny it," he said, looking at Jane, "I did try my best to separate my friend from your sister, and I'm proud of it."

He turned his eyes slightly, and said as if talking to himself: "I finally did more for him than for myself."

"How could you do that?" said Jane, looking at him in shock, and she felt a rush of anger rush into her head, "because of the difference between my family and yours... and Mr. Bingley's family?"

"I'm just suggesting..."

"You suggest?" said Jane, staring at him, feeling herself out of control. "No! You made the decision for him! You knew your influence over Mr. Bingley, and you did it." It's a good thing to get Mr Bingley out of the Liz!"

Mr. Darcy's eyes widened when he heard this. He stared at Jane firmly, and said loudly: "If I do this, I should not feel that I am wrong! Bingley is a very respectable young man. Not worthy of your sister! Do you think I should rejoice that my friends and I have climbed up to your lowly relatives? Then I am guilty indeed!"

"It's true that my family's status is low, but so what?" Jane felt that the burning anger swept her whole body instantly, she stood up suddenly, stared at Mr. Darcy and said word by word, "Our birth is impossible. Whatever I choose, no matter I am poor or rich, I will gladly accept it! My father, my uncle, my uncle, they don’t steal or rob, they don’t cheat others, and they work hard to get their comfortable life and respected status completely by themselves , in my opinion, they are completely nobler than those rich children in the city who don't do childbirth and only want to marry noble girls to maintain a luxurious and lustful life. My mother, she is indeed not a wise and elegant woman, but she Passionate, amiable, and sincere to others, she is loyal to her husband and caring for her daughters. She is much more noble than those dignified ladies who neglect their children. Nobility does not lie in blood, but in heart! My parents raised me, and my uncles and uncles treated me I am like my own daughter, now you trample on my family, it is no different from trampling me! Just like that, you still come to tell me that you love me?!"

Jane was so angry that her whole body began to tremble. She took a few deep breaths and couldn't calm down. She wanted to say something, but suddenly she couldn't say anything when she saw Mr. Darcy's appearance. , and finally said with a trembling voice: "Please go, I don't want to see you again."

Mr. Darcy blushed, his eyes were full of shock, he stood there without moving for a long time, and after a few minutes of silence, he said with difficulty: "I'm sorry that I made you think so... I don't have any I want to despise you..."

When he said this, he pursed his lips, looked at Jane's side face that turned her head away from him, and her delicate body trembling slightly because of the lingering anger, and hesitated.

"I am sorry I have taken you so much time," said Mr. Darcy at last, "but allow me to wish you sincerely good health and happiness."

Then, he bowed deeply to Jane, turned and left.
