Contrast Darcy's boorish behavior with that of Mr Knightly Written by AnnetteJ (4/15/2010 8:28 a.m.) in consequence of the missive, A perfect boring ball?, penned by Nina RG

at a similiar ball. Knightly may have had definite opinions on Harriet Smith's social standing but when she was snubbed by Mr Elton, Knightly stepped up and asked her to dance. At the P&P ball, Darcy is acting like Mr Elton -- too good to dance with these bumpkins. Such rudeness in real life has caused many a girl to flee in tears to the ladies room. At least Lizzy overcame some natural hurt to make fun of Darcy.

      - Without conflict we wouldn't have a story or plot, but AnnetteJ (4/15/2010 12:04 p.m.)
Does that really hold water? Kathi (4/14/2010 7:24 a.m.)
