Was Mr. Darcy autistic?
Social protocol was a lot different in that class and time. Like asking if someone in the 1920's is autistic for tipping their fedora to a woman
>>24935724bruv spent his time at parties staring at the walls or sulking in the corner, that's autistic behaviour no matter the era
>>24935763No it's not, I do that all the time.
>>24935699No, he was sigma
>>24935699unironically yes. the novel is largely about elizabeth and darcy learning to communicate despite this.
>>24935699Mr Darcy is LITERALLY just like me frfr except rich tall and handsome
>>24935699Remember you see him from Elizabeth's perspective most of the time, and she has a low opinion of him during the first half of the novel. He was just shy and aware of the fakeness of many of the social gatherings at that time
>>24937274also im not nice and caring underneath
>>24935763Being broody, moody and bored was considered very sexy and Byronic. I forget the name of that story by Tolstoy where the woman's ideal for a husband is sullen, introverted and depressed but she marries someone chipped and it makes her unhappy
No he wasnt
>>24935699No, because autism isn't real.
