We also see Miss Bingleys increasingly desperate attempts to woo Darcy and his own part in bringing about the separation between Elizabeths sister and his own best friend.But above all, we come to know Fitzwilliam Darcy as a fully-rounded character, with all his flaws and all his attractions and we learn that the story told from his point of view is as enchanting, gripping and unforgettable as Jane Austens original.
