Lady Junky wrote: I thought we already talk about it? Contrary to Snow and Rose Red, Mr Darcy is clearly not a character from the book itself but more a hint to the book. We did not see enough of him for saying it is THE Mr. Darcy. Disagree. How is that any different to Snow White and Rose Red? If anything we are making a bigger assumption there, just because the two are friends does not mean they are the same thing as a story of two sisters with similar names. And I'm pretty sure Jane E. confirmed on twitter he is THE Mr. Darcy. Besides that, the whole flashback of the episode is about what a proper young lady in that society would do, which is exactly the point of the novel. Wikipedia even classifies it as a "novel of manners" that deals with "issues of manners, upbringing, morality, education, and marriage in the society". Source:   http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pride_and_Prejudice  I don't know, to me it is clearly refrenceing the novel.
