You must know… surely, you must know it was all for you. You are too generous to trifle with me. I believe you spoke with my aunt last night, and it has taught me to hope as I’d scarcely allowed myself before. If your feelings are still what they were last April, tell me so at once. My affections and wishes have not changed, but one word from you will silence me forever. If, however, your feelings have changed, I will have to tell you: you have bewitched me, body and soul, and I love, I love, I love you. I never wish to be parted from you from this day on. Matthew Macfadyen as Mr. Fitzwilliam Darcy in Pride & Prejudice (2005)

Pride and Prejudice (1995)
I’ve played some far more physically energetic parts, but I don’t think that I’ve ever been as physically exhausted at the end of a take as I have with Darcy. I remember this particularly from the scene where Elizabeth and I have the argument at Netherfield: Darcy’s emotional and doesn’t want her to know it, he hates her because he fancies her, he hates her for being cleverer than he is during this particular conversation, and he’s got the Bingleys as an audience. So there are a million things going on inside him, yet he has to keep himself together and not show he is in the slightest bit ruffled; he mustn’t reveal his turmoil. So he sits there, as still and calm as his emotions can possibly allow.
Colin Firth.
I absolutely love the fact that Mr Darcy is one of the most adored literary romantic heroes because like…he’s a human disaster? He literally developed a crush on Elizabeth, decided to deny his feelings, then realised his feelings were too strong to be repressed in the span of a few chapters while Elizabeth thought he hated her. He claims he doesn’t know how to talk to women yet comes out with beautiful lines such as ‘dearest, loveliest Elizabeth’. I just adore that he’s renowned for his genuine love and appreciation for Elizabeth even though he was terrible at dealing with his feelings.
jane austen, trying to write social commentary: hmm, think I’ll fuck around and write the greatest love story of all time
Elizabeth Bennet: *Roasts Darcy*
Darcy:
just some little pride and prejudice (2005) things i love
- the sense of chaotic female energy in the Bennet household
- the sound of tinkling piano music and bird song and giggling
- when Jane tries to pull a ‘not all men’ on Lizzy but Lizzy is havin none of it and calls all men humourless poppycocks
- Lizzy’s satisfied smirk as she STRIDES away after sending mr darcy 2 his grave with ‘even if one’s partner is barely tolerable’
- Lizzy and Jane giggling under the covers 😭
- Mrs Bennet discussing Mr Bennets imposing death over the breakfast table and nobody bats an eyelid except to be like ‘its 10am’ like this obviously happens A Lot
- And then Mr Bennet and lizzy joke about Jane dying like why does this Regency era family have the humour of millennials
- when Darcy is listing all the things an accomplished woman should have and he says ‘she should expand her mind with extensive reading’ or w.e and lizzy SNAPS that book shut so fast
- the Mrs Bennet Pig Testicle Scene Nobody Talks About
- the hand
- after Mr Collins proposal when Mrs Bennet goes to Mr Bennet for help and he’s just like up a ladder ? And all he does up there is pick up a pot plant? I’m thoroughly convinced he just climbed that ladder to avoid the drama ((he failed))
- the dramatic ZOOM when Darcy bursts into the room just to stand around, make one line of polite conversation, and then leave
- m not going to comment abt the rain scene bc theres too much to unpack but THE RAIN SCENE
- ‘He’s so. he’s so… he’s so RICH’ i feel u girl
- The dreamy shots of Pemberley + dreamy music music layered with Darcy’s housekeeper saying lovely things about him like you know Lizzy was falling in love with him right then and there even tho he wasn’t even in the room
- All the ripped statues probably help
- Shame that the scene where Darcy sees Lizzy at Pemberly for the first time will be forever ruined because all i can hear in my head is RUN
- Turns up in the middle of the night, invites self in, insults the size of the garden….. an icon
- The fact that the entire Bennet family listening in to private conversations at the door is a recurring theme
- “i love… i love… i love you”
- the last scene of Lizzy and her dad laughing and crying at how in love she is is the goodest purest scene and in This House we don’t speak of the american alternate ending
I really hope Jane Austen knows that it’s 2018 and Elizabeth Bennett is still That Bitch™️ to all of us young ladies like shout-out to my homegirl thanks for writing her

me with 0 drinks in me, unprompted: lorde literally INVENTED the sad indie girl pop sound that artists like alessia cara and halsey are using today when she was only fifteen years old and the reason royals was such a hit was because it sounded like nothing else on the radio or the charts at the moment and for someone who has been so influential she is criminally underappreciated in this essay i will
