"You must allow me to tell you how ardently I admire and love you."
When Fitzwilliam Darcy spoke these words to Elizabeth Bennet as
part of his marriage proposal, they expressed his concealed
feelings completely, but their meaning was at odds with the rest of
his prideful and arrogant offer of marriage. It was therefore
rather easy for Elizabeth to reject his offer in much the same
manner. But what if Darcy, never one at ease when trying to speak
of inner sentiments, had realized beforehand how his intended
proposal would sound to the young woman he hoped to make his bride?
What if he had attempted a much more civil and thoughtful proposal
of marriage? Could Elizabeth Bennet have coldly and angrily
rejected an offer made in such a manner? A Most Civil Proposal, a
variation on Jane Austen's "Pride and Prejudice," examines and
explores how the lives of the two main characters and their
families and friends might have turned out differently had Darcy
realized his error beforehand and thus avoided being so forcefully
instructed and corrected by the love of his life.
