Designing Love

These people seem to create their own ideas of love. In this case, what Tinkerbell says is true. If you believe in fairies, they exist. If you don't, they die. I already talked a little bit about this in a prior blog. As long as the characters in Pride and Prejudice believe in the love stories they create, they exist.

Charlotte believes she is happy:

"Poor Charlotte! it was melancholy to leave her to such society! But she had chosen it with her eyes open; and though evidently regretting that her visitors were to go, she did not seem to ask for compassion. Her home and her housekeeping, her parish and her poultry, and all their dependent concerns, had not yet lost their charms."

Lady Catherine plans her daughter and Mr. Darcy's future.

This is an interesting topic but I'm out of textual proof. Maybe I could merge it in with happiness.

* Off topic but very interesting:

Elizabeth's modesty and lack of interest in army men, wealth, and such.

While Lydia brags about her marriage with Wickham, she keeps Mr. Darcy's proposal a private matter.

"We have dined nine times at Rosings, besides drinking tea there twice! How much I

shall have to tell!"

Elizabeth added privately, "And how much I shall have to conceal!"
