elizabeth bennet said “i can’t fix him nor would I for a million dollars” and fitzwilliam darcy said “wait she thinks I need to be fixed? …. she’s right, I’ve gotta work on myself and learn how to be more understanding and generous” and then he did. and elizabeth was like “shit…. he’s so understanding and generous now…. makes me realize that my stubbornness and pride in my discernment are obstacles in the lives of myself and others” and then they got married and that’s why pride and prejudice has been a bestseller for two hundred years
