Oh books and the way they influence how you think about relationships... I was talking to someone tonight about Pride and Prejudice and how really Darcy and Elizabeth are just all kinds of fucked up. He's rude to her, then suddenly falls violently in love with her and she's grossed out, then decides he's better than the other losers around her. I mean yes, comparatively better than Wickham (who goes around ruining the reputations of young girls) and more backbone than Bingley, but I'm sure Lizzie could have done better. Or just ended up on her own! I know, it was the times too. She did well for herself finding such a rich man with a great house. Ugh.
