All the evidence you need how far fallen the study of literature has become. Just curious maybe I misread the book but when did Mr. Darcy manipulate, and dominate Elizabeth Bennett? Darcy would not even give someone like Anastasia Steele the time of day. Elizabeth Bennett would eat the meek Anastasia Steele for lunch.

Indiana Jones?

Domineering?

What?

What does Married With Children have to do with 50 Shades of Grey?

Mr. Darcy was an honestly good character... Grey? From what I’ve heard, not so much.

I'm thinking more of "Whippin' Wickham" ...

Ask Marcy Darcy since she wears the pants.

Anyway, even thinking about comparing this drivel to Austen is mind boggling. I’m not even referring to the naughty bits. The book is so poorly written, the dialogue is sophomoric, and the plot just drags on. Ugh.

Jane Austen was one of those authors that I refuse to read, and place in the same category as Ezra Pound’s poetry or Fitzgerald’s Gatsby - boring.

The only shows of PBS birthing that were interesting were Sherlock Holmes, set in the original times; the detective Inspector George Gently; and, at first, DCI Banks, which soured quickly.

I’m an American. I have no interest in stuffy, elitist, better than you, English aristocracy, because we divorced from them, in 1776, and had to tell them again, in 1812, and had to remind them, again, during The Civil War.
