I wanted to bring up this passage only because I thought it surprising and interesting these two conversing about love and its nature...
But your points(all of you) are quite far from this and difficult to follow.
Are we sure Darcy has in mind these lines? Or agrees with them?Whatsoever Lizzy doesn't seem to agree with Shakespeare,
"Of a fine, stout, healthy love it may. Everything nourishes what is strong already." I understood he is saying quite the opposite...
(I must admit I 'm just begining my acquaintance with Shakespeare.Your knowledge cannot be compared with mine...so please help me...) :-)
