But Mr Darcy has something they don’t: three key personality “dimensions” – warmth/loyalty, vitality/attractiveness, and status/resources – that a group of psychologists identified in 1999, as making up the “ideal” partner, says University of Sydney psychology lecturer Dr Rebecca Pinkus.proposes that we select these particular categories, in a mate, for evolutionary survival – as a way of ensuring that our genes are passed down.
In 1940, viewers pined for the Laurence Olivier version of Mr Darcy, seen here in that year's film adaptation with co-star Greer Garson, which was radically different from both Austen's book, and later versions, chiefly because he was far friendlier, and open. There is, she adds, “a certain universalism” to his appeal, explaining why both mothers and their daughters lust after him – often at the same time.
But then, Mr Darcy has been tasked with being the miraculous solution to huge social problems since his creation in 1813. “Jane Austen really lets him say very little in the course of the book, he’s sort of there, but doesn’t say a lot,” says Susannah Fullerton, president of the Jane Austen Society of Australia, and the owner of a car number plate frame that reads, “I’d rather live at Pemberley”.
Are we?
I for one am not pining for Mr Darcy.

Tax and the Trump effect: why so many Americans are renouncing citizenshipA record number of (former) Americans ended their citizenship in the first half of 2020, with some citing the chaotic Trump Administration as a key reason. If you hate your country - LEAVE. Do it now. No one will stop you. Fair enough, if you do not like the country, its culture, its heritage then go find a country that you will like & respect at least.

He’s still popular,” the article was headed.\n\nIt comes as the Andrews government is expected to introduce sweeping new powers for public servants giving them the authority if authorised officers with the ability to indefinitely detain Victorians.\n\n“If you want to call somebody a dictator, somebody who empowers their bureaucrats to put you in jail indefinitely, I think that fills the definition of dictator,” Mr Morrow said.
