Maybe she is not lowering her standard....

in consequence of the missive, Good point!, penned by Line
I tend to think that Lizzy simply came to see the situation from Darcy's perspective, based on his letter, Charlotte's early conversations with Lizzy and her own general knowledge of Jane's personality.. In this light, Darcy not only did nothing wrong, but he probably did what most good friends would do... look out for his friend...It just so happened that in this case, it was Lizzy's sister who got hurt. From this perspective, Darcy's error was understandable (and quite human) and forgivable. It may be that Lizzy, after understanding Darcy's intentions, forgave his human error. The other less likely possibility in my mind is the old addage "love is blind". But I don't like to think Lizzy is prone to this kind of sentiment. She is much smarter than that, and Darcy certainly deserves better... |
