reading about all the social calculus of these balls already stresses me out. how did people actually keep track of everyone's intentions?
-
was bingley falling for the sisters or just being kind to literally everyone? he seems like the type who actually listens
-
the way elizabeth gets pulled in despite everything she sees, like she can't help it even when she knows better
-
the bingley/darcy contrast really does it for me. one of them actually learned how to make people comfortable, the other just never bothered. seems exhausting either way
-
what was it about darcy's manner that made elizabeth see through it while everyone else just accepted the package he came in?
