I enjoyed the moment-by-moment analysis of THE KISS in P&P2. I would
be most interested in the same analysis of Darcy's response to
Elizabeth's confession that her feelings at his second proposal
were "quite the opposite". Any takers?

Some people complained that this scene wasn't long enough,(the 2nd proposal scene) but I think it was wonderful. They both looked so happy and lovesick when they look at each other, and the "dearest, loveliest Elizabeth" gets me everytime I watch it. I have re-wound that scene countless times.

I felt that 2nd proposal and the subsequent chapter in the book should have reflected in P&P2 - especially since Ehle's Lizzy did not explain the transformation of her initial disgust into eventual respect of Darcy thru out the 6 hrs. Non-novel readers might have presumed it was due to her first viewing Pemberley - though that might have been a factor, but not the overall. In P&P1, Lizzy explained it thru her 'voice-over' thoughts and it was superb to experience it with her.. but that's just my opionion
I do keep watching P&P2, to catch more 'subtle' hints - may be that's the idea.
