I think that's what makes Darcy the most popular Austen guy. The fact that this proud and arrogant guy willing to change himself for the better after being humbled by the girl he loves can sure melt hearts.Originally Posted by sheraldine
What makes Darcy attractive:
- He is willing to admit his mistake after being humbled
- He changed for the better after knowing his faults
- After being rejected by Elizabeth, he still helped out her family behind the scene (this shows that he did those out of genuine care and not for show).
- He's misunderstood (he looks snobbish in the beginning, but is actually a decent guy and an upright person. Also, being introverted and quiet might be mistaken for being a snob.)
Here's an article comparing Darcy and Henry Crawford. It clearly shows what makes Darcy ticks. http://www.pemberley.com/janeinfo/darcrawf.html
