  • I am .... Mr. Darcy

    Tony Stark famously stated: "I am Iron Man." 

    After much consideration, I now feel compelled to announce: "I am Mr. Darcy"

    Per the standard of accurate Internet information, WikiHow, here are my Mr. Darcy superpowers:

    • Evident intelligence and wit. Elizabeth is able to participate in witty conversations with Mr. Darcy precisely because both of them are intelligent and thoughtful. Mr Darcy tends to think things through rather than jumping to conclusions. 
       
    • Ability to support himself. In Pride and Prejudice, Mr. Darcy is independently wealthy. Clearly, most men you meet will not be so wildly independently wealthy as Mr. Darcy was portrayed. However, it is important that your modern-day Mr. Darcy finds purpose in working and values what his money can help him to achieve.
       
    • Is unafraid to speak his own mind. Mr. Darcy is known for being straightforward.
       
    • Is loyal. Mr. Darcy is very loyal to his family and those he considers as friends.
       
    • Is caring about those close to him, both friends and family. For example, Mr. Darcy is more than ready to stand in and bail out family when Lydia runs off with Mr. Wickham, and he is always protective of his sister Georgiana.
       
    • Is a good listener. Mr. Darcy is shown to be able to listen to Elizabeth. He also proves himself to be "teachable" after she rebukes him for wrongful behavior she believes he has committed.[1] Leah Orcutt suggests that men who are "teachable" are on the way to being of "high character".[2]
       
    • Is able to express his opinion and feelings.
       
    • Has a good reputation.

    Now ... If I ever get around to reading my biography ... er ....Pride and Prejudice.
