Pride & Prejudice: Memorable Dialogue V

Mr. Darcy: Miss Elizabeth. I have struggled in vain and I can bear it no longer. These past months have been a torment. I came to Rosings with the single object of seeing you... I had to see you. I have fought against my better judgment, my family's expectations, the inferiority of your birth by rank and circumstance. All these things I am willing to put aside and ask you to end my agony.

Elizabeth Bennet: I don't understand.

Mr. Darcy: I love you. Most ardently. Please do me the honor of accepting my hand.

Elizabeth Bennet: Sir, I appreciate the struggle you have been through, and I am very sorry to have caused you pain. Believe me, it was unconsciously done.

Mr. Darcy: Is this your reply?

Elizabeth Bennet: Yes, sir.

Mr. Darcy: Are you... are you laughing at me?

Elizabeth Bennet: No.

Mr. Darcy: Are you *rejecting* me?

Elizabeth Bennet: I'm sure that the feelings which, as you've told me have hindered your regard, will help you in overcoming it.

Mr. Darcy: Might I ask why, with so little endeavor at civility, I am thus repulsed?

Elizabeth Bennet: And I might as well enquire why, with so evident a design of insulting me, you chose to tell me that you liked me against your better judgment.

I really like when Mr. Darcy confessed his love to Elizabeth. He seemed to have ponder over things and tried to summone up all his courage to say how much he loved her (his reasons are unberable, though).

Pride & Prejudice: Memorable Dialogue IV

Elizabeth Bennet: You mean to frighten me, Mr. Darcy, by coming in all your state to hear me, but I won't be alarmed even if your sister does play so well.

Mr. Darcy: I am well enough acquainted with you, Miss Elizabeth, to know that I can not alarm you, even should I wish it.

Pride & Prejudice: Memorable Dialogue III

How can we love the person who obviously feels against us, I wonder? But this always happens both in novels and the real world. Look at what Mr. Darcy did - he constantly fell in love with Elizabeth while she returned him with more annoyance and hatred.

Mr. Darcy: Do you talk, as a rule, while dancing?

Elizabeth Bennet: No... No, I prefer to be unsociable and taciturn... Makes it all so much more enjoyable, don't you think?

Pride & Prejudice: Memorable Dialogue II

Mr. Darcy: Are you so severe on your own sex?

Elizabeth Bennet: I never saw such a woman. She would certainly be a fearsome thing to behold.

It's like Elizabeth had fun to tease Mr. Darcy though he's the kind of person you didn't dare to. In the scene, both of them were spending time in the living room of Netherfield with Charles and Caroline Bingley. Miss Bingley did her best to get Mr. Darcy's attention without success when Elizabeth just used her quickness and wit to to tease him.

Pride & Prejudice: Memorable Dialogue I

I found very impressive many dialogues between Elizabeth Bennet and Mr. Darcy in Pride & Prejudice. Here's one of the examples:

Elizabeth Bennet:I wonder who first discovered the power of poetry in driving away love?

Mr. Darcy: I thought that poetry was the food of love.

Elizabeth Bennet: Of a fine stout love, it may. But if it is only a vague inclination I'm convinced one poor sonnet will kill it stone dead

Mr. Darcy: So what do you recommend to encourage affection?

Elizabeth Bennet: Dancing. Even if one's partner is barely tolerable.

This scene occured after Mr. Darcy refused to dance with Elizabeth and after she heard him said that she just looked tolerable. So, her answer at the end showed her wit and slight sacasm to the man. And, in the scene, after the answer, she just walked away with pride and a little smile on her face. So, I just love her being sharp-tongued and without fear. Her answer might get Mr. Darcy like to know her.
