Darcy might have been rude and ruined Mrs. Bennetīs plans...but, at least he made the evening interesting.
Without Darcy, just another typical ball.
Liking Darcy depends on what we value most. Would we rather attend a perfect boring ball or a different one?
I prefer an amusing one. Maybe thatīs why I like Darcy.
AND, to me that fact that Mrs. Bennet doesnīt like him and encourage bad word of mouth about him, tells me that the guy canīt be so bad. My point is, if a silly person says that someone is silly, then that person must be intelligent.
