Having followed the link below, I would guess many people would not find the jargon all that instructive, at least in terms that are relevant to an understanding of the novel.

According to Lizzy, Mr. Darcy comes off as arrogant, conceited, and having a disdain for the feelings of others.

But when you look at him more closely, he is clearly uncomfortable dealing with people who are unknown to him. He finds it a punishment to dance with a pretty girl he does not know, and he does not have the talent for conversing with people who are not his friends.

Personally, I think he is confident in his ability, but shy in social situations. He has a great sense of honor and dignity, but he cannot show the good side of his nature to people who are outside his circle. He says he was brought up to be a good person, but was too much allowed to be selfish. But his problem may be that he really has not had an opportunity to expose himself to a variety of other people because of his shy nature, and so he has not made much progress, until he was drawn out of his shell by Eliza Bennet.

Answer 2

Darcy was humbled by Elizabeth, and we must conclude this forced him to think things through.

He had thought of himself as a man any woman would gladly marry, for he was wealthy, from a good family, well educated, and very handsome. The sisters of his best friend had designs on him and were constantly putting pressure on him. His aunt, Lady Catherine had designs on him, and talked quite a lot about the idea Darcy would marry her daughter, Anne. So when Elizabeth, with whom he clearly had fallen deeply in love, turned him down, it was quite a shock. As a man who was thoughtful, he had to look at himself and ask why she was not interested.

There are a number of things he saw wrong with Elizabeth's family. Her mother was constantly talking about a marriage between Bingley and her daughter Jane. She was thoughtless, rude, and inconsiderate. Elizabeth's younger sisters were silly creatures and incessant flirts; there was no surprise when Lydia eloped with Wickham.

But as Darcy considered all these things, he must have seen parallels with his own family. Elizabeth's mother was no worse than Lady Catherine. And while Lydia had eloped with Wickham, Darcy's sister had been prevented from eloping with the same man only by the fact that Darcy himself had discovered the plot.

Answer 3

I haven't read the entire book yet, but in the extract I studied (where the girls are discussing the merits of 'accomplished' women), Darcy says he values intelligence in women and doesn't throw around the phrase 'accomplished' without really meaning it. So you could say one of his qualities is that he doesn't just go along with current opinion and considers things for himself. He uses his intelligence and seems to speak his own mind, even his opinion disagrees with other people's.

Answer 4

Mr. Darcy's personality was initially perceived as proud and aloof by others due to his reserved nature and high social status. However, as the story unfolds, he is revealed to be honorable, loyal, and caring, with a capacity for personal growth and transformation. His integrity, intelligence, and deep sense of propriety make him a beloved character in Jane Austen's novel "Pride and Prejudice."
