After a continual evolution in character on the part of Darcy and Elizabeth, the two meet again and discuss marriage once more. Darcy asks simply if her feelings have changed, to which she replies that yes, they have. This simple moment is again a contrast to the two previous proposals in the novel. Some readers have found this to be quite anticlimactic since it is the culminating moment in Elizabeth and Darcy's relationship. Nothing here is grand or elaborate or intensely emotional. However, it seems, instead, that Elizabeth and Darcy have come to understand each other so fully-and, indeed, the reader understands them completely now as well-that no elaborate explanation or grand scene is needed. Elizabeth and Darcy have simply come to love each other truly, and that's that.
