"Miss Bingley told me," said Jane, "that (Darcy) never speaks much unless among his intimate acquaintance. With them he is remarkably agreeable." - Ch. 5
Until Chapter 10, the eyes of others have been our primary window into the character of Mr. Darcy. While it may be granted that earlier in the book he managed a word or two from time to time (mostly about the fine eyes of Miss Elizabeth Bennet), it is not really until this chapter that we finally see Darcy engaged in extended dialogue with other characters. We finally have the opportunity to hear Darcy speak "among his intimate acquaintance" and get a bigger picture of the man.
So, what are your initial thoughts? What do you like; what don't you like? What did you learn? The question is open-ended: From the beginning of the book until now, what are your thoughts on Darcy?
