Hello everyone welcome back to my sporadic blog posts, glad you could spend a few moments of your time reading my opinions! Today we will cover chapters 44 and 45 and in the next post I will be hitting you with sooooooo many feels that you may actually explode, you know in a way that is quite messy and may involve grabbing the closest random stranger by the sleeve and shouting "WHY!" at them until they back away afraid for their lives. Okay that may have just been me but who knows it could happen.
So off we go with chapter 44. This chapter begins with Lizzy thinking that Darcy will be coming at a certain time and he shows up like a whole day earlier than she was expecting. Apparently his sister was so excited or curious about meeting Elizabeth, or Darcy was, that they came over right after Miss Darcy arrived at the Pemberly estate. This eagerness automatically tips Elizabeth's Aunt and Uncle off to the fact that Darcy probably likes Lizzy and by the time they have a conversation with the man they know he's in love.
Miss Darcy is probably the cutest thing in the whole book, yep even cuter than Jane. That might be because Jane is way to nice and good and she tends to get on my nerves. Any way Miss Darcy is around 14 or 15 and is described by Lizzy as having a well formed figure, graceful, and tall. She is also said to look happy but is rather shy with exceptional manners. Elizabeth pretty much automatically likes her. Darcy meanwhile is still acting like a totally different Darcy. He inquires about Lizzy's family, the family he formerly despised and avoided. He is happy and from what we get from Mr. and Mrs. G (the aunt and uncle) he is still very in love with Elizabeth. Then Bingley shows up, asks a bunch of questions that only half point in the direction of Jane. He is still full of charm and good humor that he had been full of back in Lizzy's town and it sort of looks like he has no clue that anything has happened. Pretty much he is oblivious to the fact that he was tricked into leaving Jane behind, because of that it is kind of hard to be angry with him very much and so Lizzy is friendly and tries to see how many times he asks questions that are indirectly linked to Jane.
The party stays for about 45 minutes and then they leave, but only after Darcy guides his sister into asking Lizzy's group to come over the next day for dinner. Miss Darcy does so with a bit of adorable awkwardness and they all agree to go. Because honestly who could say no to that.
Miss Austen (the author for those who may have forgotten) then decides to leave a few nibblets about character through the perspective of Mr. and Mrs. G. about Darcy and Wickham. We are told that they can find no fault in Darcy and that once again it is obvious he loves Lizzy. The have been asking around to their friends and the people of the local towns and have discovered two things. One that Darcy is an upstanding member of his community. And two that Wickham makes a lot of messes for Darcy to clean up. Wickham had apparently skipped town leaving behind pretty large debts, debts that Darcy paid off for him.
Then we get to what is one of my favorite lines in the whole book. Lizzy lies awake for two hours just thinking about Darcy. She is trying to discover if she truly loves him, and if she wants him to re-propose and while she is thinking of all this and going through the reasons why she likes him better now we get this quote.
"It was gratitude; --gratitude, not merely for having once loved her,
but for loving her still well enough to forgive all the petulance and acrimony of her
manner in rejecting him, and all the unjust accusations accompanying her rejection."
Seriously, I love that quote. I think it expresses what love truly is. Forgiveness and the choice to love that person anyway.
The chapter ends with them deciding to repay an early visit as respectfully as they could which of course meant arriving early themselves. Mr. G ends up going fishing with the other guys at Pemberly and the chapter ends happy enough.
Chapter 45 because it is short and we need to get to the next section!!!!!
This Chapter consists of Miss Darcy being oh so very adorable as she stumbles through being a hostess. Lizzy notices that she obviously wants to join into the conversations but is so extremely shy that she hardly ever does. Miss Binlgey is there along with Miss Hurst and Miss Darcy's keeper. Miss Bingley becomes a jerk because she is jealous and barely says a thing until Darcy comes in and starts trying to make his sister and Lizzy friends. When she finally does speak she does so in order to make Lizzy look bad and in doing so brings up Wickham inadvertently. Even though she is out of the loop about how horrible he was to Miss Darcy she still looks like a total butt-head.
After everyone is gone Miss Bingley tries even harder to make Lizzy sound ugly and unworthy of attention. After listening to her complain and gripe Darcy finally speaks up and says that he even if he had said she was unattractive before he has long since decided that Elizabeth is the most beautiful woman he has ever met and the conversation ends.
Alright everyone that's all we have for these chapters I'll be back soonish. If I am not back on before then HAPPY CHRISTMAS! For when they happen updates find and follow me on twitter @KauruRoss and now on tumblr at kauruross.tumblr.com and feel free to ask me questions, leave comments, or chat about books and such.
And remember the reason for the season is the God-child not the presents they gave him.
Love always,
