The first thing of note is the prose. Unbelievable writing. A point that this books proves again and again is that eloquence is simply using the most appropriate language. Distractions and complications are the enemy of clarity. Language must be allowed to be spoken.
Having just finished this book, my mind cannot help but be drawn to the book's moral; it's ending. I have no problems with this book ending happily, but the arc thag Darcy underwent conflicts with my world view so as to make him a faulty character in my mind. I think he would not have been the person he is in the book in the real world, but instead a much more emotionally stunted and insecure man who would not have made good on the lessons he was taught buy instead would have lashed back at the teacher, as if to punish.
