I'm a sucker for classics. And reading this entry... http://theglobalfilipina.wordpress.com/2013/01/18/dating-mr-darcy/ totally made me realize how I view my husband.

A solid, intellectual connection is what every relationship requires. And looks like we both have it.

I should blog some more. Hahaha...

Okay, I could be a total numpty here but in that entry she says that Darcy writes Elizabeth a love letter. I've seen the original series and the el-crapo movie multiple times and I don't recall "a love letter" (and the book recently, though my Kindle died and I haven't finished it on my new Kindle yet). I recall a letter where he explains what the deal was with Wickam, and why he told Bingly that Jane didn't care about him, but not a letter declaring how he felt for Elizabeth. Am i totally wrong here? Does the book deal with an actual love letter? An actual letter declaring feelings? I only recall him SAYING those feeling "In vain have I struggled. It will not do. My feelings will not be repressed. You must allow me to tell you how ardently I admire and love you.”

I haven't read Pride and Prejudice, but I will refer this question to her and we'll get back to you!

Excellent and thanks! If the book differs that much I really need to finish it!

I asked her, and this was her reply:

"The letter itself, read plainly doesnt seem to be the usual love letter at all. But that's where you admire Jane Austen. One must not only look at the text but the development of the writing as well. No warm and cheesy words were said, but there is definitely passion in it. You could almost feel Darcy's heart bleeding.

Ooops, forgot to add the end:

What Darcy did not explicity declare in words, he manifested in sub-text...Quoting from my blog, "He poured his feelings" and pour he did...the letter was very emotional and truly showed Elizabeth how Darcy cares about her perception of him.

I'm an Austen reader.

He did write her a letter after that quite stirring (yet very rude) marriage proposal. He wrote her all his reasons for acting the way he did about his best friend's courtship with Elizabeth's sister, his intolerance of Mr Wickham and the length he went to save Elizabeth's other sister from irreparable ruin.

He didn't propose to her again in this letter, but when you, as a reader, read it yourself... You will realize how he truly wanted Elizabeth to be happy, by looking after the happiness of her family, too. You won't be as shocked as Elizabeth was.
