Mr. Darcy's Marriage Contract Quotes

“Did grief weaken all men? Did they so easily lose their strength, their judgment, their common sense? When a woman lost her husband, she took the burden of caring for her remaining family on her shoulders. When a man lost his wife, he searched for a way to forget her and maybe replace her. Was a man’s apparent power actually weaker than a woman’s apparent fragility?”
