Unit5 Enjoying Novels
hastily and harshly, and his high birth and wealth make him overly proud and overly conscious of his social status. indeed, his haughtiness makes him initially handle his courtship badly. when he proposes to her, for instance, he dwells more on how unsuitable a match she is than on her charms, beauty, or anything else. her rejection of his advances builds a kind of humility in him. darcy proves himself

step iii writing
t: open your books and turn to p49. we've known the story between darcy and elizabeth. now, you are going to write about your opinion of them.
sample writing:
their behavior wasn't right.
mr darcy was arrogant and cared about people's social rank. he was so rich that he expected any girl he wanted to marry to agree at once. elizabeth had a prejudice against mr darcy because he slighted her and hurt her dignity by refusing to dance with her at a party and she-was told that mr darcy was a cold blooded, selfish man who had deprived wickham of his fortune and wanted to separate her sister and bingley.
these caused her refusal of his honest proposal. so i think their behavior wasn't right.
