In the book, Austen gives very limited physical descriptions of her characters, including Darcy. One of the very few things she makes clear is that he is tall. The first--and really, only--description she gives of him is from Chapter 3, and merely says that he is tall, handsome, and has a noble air about him.

He has been portrayed in movies by Sir Laurence Olivier, Colin Firth, and Matthew Macfadyen, as well as others in knock-offs and retellings. All three of these men are dark-haired.

Describe the personality of Elizabeth in the book Pride and Prejudice?

Lizzy was intelligent, witty, charming, prejudiced, and a little self deluded. She did not think highly of many people, and expected most people to have faults and failures, which she enjoyed observing to some degree. She appreciated her sister Jane's sweet tempered expectation of good in everyone, but could not bring herself to emulate it. She was willing to understand her own faults, when they were brought to her attention, and so was able to change and grow.


Does mr darcy have the right to be proud?

Certainly, according to Charlotte Lucas, Mr. Darcy has a right to be proud. Jane Austen clearly understands a difference between the good and bad aspects of pride, and has her characters speak of it. Familial pride that causes a person to value the reputation of his family and do things so as to be in accord with the good his family has done is regarded as good, by at least some characters. But like many other things, pride can be excessive, and excessive pride is a fault. Mr. Darcy has a right to be proud of his father's generosity and continue being generous in his own life. Mr. Darcy has no right to be excessively proud.
