Pride and Prejudice has plenty of iconic moments, especially between Elizabeth and Darcy. Their interest, hostility, and insults make for some of the book’s best scenes, and between movie adaptations and the staples of the art form, they’ve also generated a lot of quality memes.
When her family shows a lack of propriety:

We’ve all experienced conflicted feelings, but just maybe not on this level. Your family sucks! Marry me! Figure yourself out, man. He’s kind of a mess, but who isn’t? Anyway, it’s one of the things we love about him.
When people just don’t get you:

Classic Darcy. Of course, he does grow as a person, but damned if he isn’t pretty sure of himself in the beginning. The man’s too cool to dance at a wedding. Then again, Elizabeth might judge the things he says, and rightly so, but it’s not like she was dancing either.
When someone is just…. SO wrong:

Our Elizabeth is a busy woman, with plenty of hobbies and plenty of suitors to reject, but sometimes correcting people has to take priority. We’ve all been there, and he probably said he doesn’t like the oxford comma too.
When your nemesis confesses their love:

Love? In this guy’s heart? It’s more likely than you think. No one sees it coming though, and certainly not Elizabeth. Of course, our girl isn’t down for long, and her rejection is maybe the most brutal and specific in literary history, but for a second there she’s just… who?
When you didn’t notice something for a really long time:

We can all be a bit oblivious sometimes. Maybe not “fail to notice when someone’s in love with us” oblivious, but you know. Besides, Darcy’s so contrary all the time, could anyone tell how he felt? The man is his own worst enemy.
