How does Amanda Price compare to Elizabeth Bennet?
They are independent, honest and direct women. They see Darcy as an arrogant and very proud man and their frustration with him is very similar. Amanda has the benefit of having read the book so she can pre-empt the decisions, choices and even dialogue that Darcy is about to say before it happens. What does Mr Darcy make of Amanda Price? Initially, Mr Darcy is very suspicious of Amanda, but on a subconscious level he finds Amanda intriguing and attractive. A man of his stature isn’t in touch with his emotions so I think he’s under a lot of pressure to remain impartial. He takes quite a long time to warm to her. How does Mr Darcy feel about Amanda’s presence in his world? He keeps himself aloof and his comments to a minimum. One of Darcy’s characteristics is to protect others, particular Charles Bingley who he encourages to keep away from Amanda. What are Mr Darcy’s motivations? Darcy believes everything should have a social order. I think Darcy has an over reaching need for marriage and
