At one point in one of my classes I had an assignment to redesign the costumes for a classic movie or play to embody the spirit of the original designs, but with our own/modern twist on them. I had to do My Fair Lady, but always thought it would be fun to do the same with Jane Austen.
Pride and Prejudice is my favorite book. I'm one of those girls who has creepy things like Pride and Prejudice bath towels and board games. This sketch was inspired by Elizabeth's comment to Jane - "Until then, I never knew myself." - in regards to reading Darcy's letter after his first, disastrous proposal.
So Lizzy - and a moment of self-realization.

Yeah, I know! One of many reasons why I adore this romance so much is that I can read it all the time *.*
But one thing bothers me: why Mr Darcy had to turn out to be such a good boy after all? T^T It was surprising to me, didn't expect Austen to switch from a bad boy type to Mr Perfect o.O At least not so suddenly
Whew. I should stop before I go TOO crazy ^^
I have to think about it a lil' bit more before responding... XD
But! I still feel like this change was too sudden. We don't know what was happening with Darcy(I mean from his pov) during these 3/4 months. Both Darcy and Elizabeth were not only prejudiced against each other, but also very proud. Lizzy's rejection hurt Mr Darcy's pride just as he hurt her's("His sense of her inferiority - of its being a degradation(..)As he said this, she could easily see that he had no doubt of a favourable answer." uff good that I bought English version of this book
And sorry for any mistakes :>
I guess that's why there are so many authors out there who have written the story from his point of view, to try and explain/understand why he seems to transform so quickly from the proposal to the next time he sees Lizzy. ^^
