Fitzwilliam Darcy is one of the luckiest characters in all of English literature, for he wins the heart of the wondrous Elizabeth Bennet.
But what did the poor fellow go through while Jane Austen was chronicling all of Lizzy's trials and tribulations? How many counties did Bingley drag him through before they ended up in Hertfordshire? How many unsuitable love affairs did Darcy have to save Bingley from until the latter met Jane Bennet?
"DarcyVerse" is not short for "Darcy's Universe." This blog actually contains actual narrative verse about the man, sometimes spoken by Darcy himself.
How good is this verse? I really don't know. You tell me; that's what this blog is for.
If you tell me it's great, then that's very uplifting but not very helpful. If you tell me it's crap, then that's helpful but disheartening.
But if you can point out an unnecessary stanza, a threadbare phrase, a lazy word, or even a poorly chosen letter, then that helps me to improve the poem. Or something on a larger scale that will help me improve the poem.
But if you can't help me improve it, then just tell me it's great.
