Wonderful words in Pride and Prejudice

It has become a universally acknowledged truth that all rich bachelors always want to marry a wife. Every time such a bachelor moves to a new place, his neighbors have no idea about his temperament and views. However, because this truth has long been deeply rooted in people's hearts, people always regard him as the property that one of their daughters deserves.

"You are really wrong about me, my good wife. I respect your nerves. They are my old friends. At least in the last twenty years, I have been listening to you mention them carefully. "

"I think arrogance is a common problem of people." Mary has always considered herself profound and rigorous. At this time, it is another macro theory. "According to my book knowledge, I firmly believe that arrogance is an evil, and human nature is extremely fragile in this respect, because few of us are not complacent about a certain quality or something else, no matter whether this quality exists in reality or only in imagination. Although vanity and arrogance are often used as synonyms, they are actually two different things. A person may be arrogant but not vain. Arrogance is how we evaluate ourselves, and vanity is how we want others to evaluate ourselves. "

His brother-in-law Hurst is like an ordinary gentleman, but his friend Darcy immediately caught the attention of the audience. Because of his tall figure, delicate eyes and noble manners, he entered the arena less than five minutes, and everyone said that his annual salary was 10 thousand pounds. All the male guests praised him for his good looks, while the female guests said that he was much more beautiful than Mr. Bingley. People looked at him with admiration for almost half a night. Finally, people found that he was proud, looked down on others and wouldn't curry favor with him, so they resented him and his popularity was eclipsed. Now that he has put on such a disgusting face, no matter how much property he has in Derbyshire, he can't save him. Besides, compared with his friends, he is nothing.

Jane's popularity is beyond description. Everyone says she looks good; Mr. Bingley thought she was beautiful and danced with her twice! Think about this, dear; He did dance with her twice! Of all the female guests, she is the only one who has received his invitation twice. His first dance was with Miss Lucas. When I saw him standing next to her, I couldn't help feeling annoyed! However, he is not interested in her at all, in fact, no one will be interested in her; When Jane walked out of the dance floor, he was fascinated. He immediately asked her name, asked someone to introduce her, and then invited her to the next dance. He danced the third dance with Miss King, the fourth dance with Maria Lucas, the fifth dance with Jane, the sixth dance with Liz and Blanchard. "

"If he could be more considerate of me," cried her husband impatiently, "he wouldn't jump so much, not at all! God, don't mention his partner. Oh! I hope he twisted his ankle in the first dance! "

"He asked me to dance for the second time. I'm so happy. I really didn't expect him to flatter me like this. "

"You really didn't expect? I thought of it for you. However, this is where I am very different from you. You are always flattered, but I am not. Isn't it natural for him to ask you to dance for the second time? You are ten times more beautiful than any lady on the dance floor. He will see when he has eyes. Why should you appreciate his attentions to you? Speaking of which, he is really cute, and I have no objection to your liking him. But you used to like a lot of idiots. "

The way they talk about Meryton ball shows that they have different personalities. Bingley said that in his life, he has never met anyone who is kinder than the people here, and he has never met a girl who is more beautiful than the girls here. In his view, everyone here is extremely kind, attentive, informal and not embarrassed, and he immediately feels familiar with everyone in the audience; Speaking of Miss Bennet, he can't imagine that there is a more beautiful angel in the world. As for Darcy, he always felt that the people he saw were neither beautiful nor elegant, and none of them could interest him, nor could they court him and win his favor. He admitted that Miss Bennet was beautiful, but she laughed too much. Mrs. Hurst and his sisters agree with him ... but they still envy her and like her, saying that she has a funny face, and they have no objection to making friends with a lady like her. In this way, Miss Bennet became a funny face. When their brother heard this compliment, he felt that he could think of her as what he liked in the future.

It's not what you said. If she only has dinner with him, then she may only see if his appetite is good; But you have to remember that they have had four meals together, that is, four nights together ... four nights will be very different. "

"yes; These four nights have taught them the same personality, that is, they all like to play 2 1 point and don't like to play' Comex'; When it comes to other important features, I think they still know very little about each other. "

"I guess what you are imagining now."

"I'm afraid you can't guess."

"You're thinking, many nights are spent with these people, which is really unbearable. I feel the same way with you. I've never been so bored! It's boring, noisy and boring to the extreme. These people think they are great again! I just want to hear you criticize them. "

"To be honest, you are completely wrong. What I think is much better. I am thinking: a beautiful woman's beautiful eyes can give people so much happiness. "

Anyone who has seen you two together will not doubt his feelings. I'm sure Miss Bingley won't doubt that she is not such a fool. If she sees that Mr Darcy loves her half, she will get a dowry.

"But, my dear sister, even in the best way, I can give it to this person, and his sisters and friends want him to marry someone else. Will I be happy? "

"That depends on your own opinion," said Elizabeth. "If, after mature consideration, you think that the pain of offending his sister is greater than the pleasure of being his wife, then I advise you to refuse his promise."

It turned out that Charlotte wanted Mr. Collins to talk to himself as much as possible so that he wouldn't pay attention to Elizabeth any more. Her plan seems to be going well. When we parted in the evening, Charlotte was almost certain that things would have been successful if Mr. Collins had not left Hertfordshire so soon. However, she thinks like this, but she doesn't understand his violent and arbitrary character. Let's talk about it Early the next morning, Collins used a rather cunning method to sneak out of Longbourn and rushed to Lujiazhuang to kneel down and make love to her.

Mrs. Bennet was speechless with anger in the presence of Sir William. But as soon as he left, her complaints were immediately vented. First, she resolutely does not believe it; Second, she concluded that Mr. Collins had been cheated; Third, she believes that the couple will never be happy; Fourth, this marriage may break up. However, she only drew two conclusions from the whole incident ... one is that the joke was all caused by Elizabeth; The other is that she was bullied and abused by everyone; That whole day, most of what she said was these two points. Nothing can comfort her, nothing can calm her down. Until the evening, the resentment still did not dissipate. She saw Elizabeth and scolded her for a week. She always spoke gruffly to Sir William or Mrs Lucas, and it took a month to get better. As for Charlotte, it took her months to forgive her. A lot of money due.
