And on chillier days slip on some slim jeans and voila - boho practicality.<br /><br />The Mr. Darcy as written was initially quite one dimensional and a snob extraordinaire, and became more complex as the novel unfolded. I think that's the appeal: that Lizzy's perception of him changes over time as more of his real character is revealed. But there's also a dissonance that doesn't get resolved even after we start seeing the glimpse of the wounded man; for example, there is no satisfactory explanation of why he's so tiresomely hypercritical to the society Bingley so easily embraces, yet is viewed as an attentive patron of the common folk in his own neighborhood.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6808329342973883194.post-27417264218584013382013-09-14T04:25:23.879-04:002013-09-14T04:25:23.879-04:00Read Pride and Prejudice and Zombies.
