Basics: Mr. Fitzwilliam Darcy is a fictional character, the hero in Jane Austen's novel extraordinaire Pride and Prejudice. He woos and wins the heroine, Elizabeth Bennet, with his august moral character and lines like these: "By you I was properly humbled. I came to you without a doubt of my reception. You showed me how insufficient were all my pretensions to please a woman worthy of being pleased."

While it's hard for me to imagine that there ever was a REAL Mr. Darcy in any lifetime... I"m not so given to fancy... more to reality...
Love your pros and cons... would add to the pros... the gentleman can dance!
Love Mr. Darcy!

Welcome, Meems! And Kozgirl! (Here's to hoping you have some down time soon!)
Yes, hard to imagine there could ever be a Mr. Darcy...but! SOMEONE had to inspire dear Miss Jane's creativity, which gives me an idea for a new man worth marrying! :o)
this man is definitely a fantasy(illusion) and jane had a great imagination. it is fun to dream but alas i too realize you have to live in the now. different times call for different men.
