Again she repeated that she would never get married, never ever. She said that for her a man always existed in books, that she would spend the rest of her life with Mr. Darcy-even in the books, there were few men for her. What was wrong with that?
📖 Azar Nafisi
The passage highlights a woman's strong declaration against marriage, expressing her preference for the romantic ideals found in literature. She finds fulfillment in her imaginary relationship with Mr. Darcy, a character from Jane Austen's novel, which reflects her belief that real-life relationships often disappoint compared to the perfection of fictional ones.
This sentiment raises questions about the nature of love and companionship, suggesting that for her, real men cannot compare to those created in books. Her statement emphasizes the isolation and disillusionment she feels toward conventional relationships, valuing the depth of literary connections over the complexities of reality.
