The Truth of Mr Darcy

by neverlate

This is a poem that I wrote about exactly how I feel the character of Mr. Darcy is portrayed. He is just as the poem says, an enigma of a man, about whom the truth is not told, and about whom all speculate. What is the truth of his character? What type of man did Jane Austin believe that he was? Please Enjoy!

Enigma of a man, solid, an untold story,

Unknown and yet he's judged, harsh and yet he's sorry.

Tall and Dark, a stranger, strange and proud, he's strong.

Mannered and titled, and loving yet acts like he doesn't belong.

Wanting a future, he's wary.

Never heeding, yet seeing,

Not knowing the girl he would marry,

Rejected he's inwardly pleading.

Heart of gold yet hidden, sorrow is etched on his brow,

Til to his reward he is bidden, wondering ever yet how?

What enigma is shown us? What unknown shall we see?

Standing unveiled before us is the truth of Mr. Darcy.
