Mr. Darcy's Speech

Ethos:
"I have no wish of denying that I did everything in my power to separate my friend from your sister, or that i rejoice in success. Towards him I have been kinder than towards myself." (170)

Logos:
"I thank you for explaining it so fully. My faults, according to this calculation, are heavy indeed! ... these offenses might have been overlooked, had not your pride been hurt by my modest confession of the scruples that had long prevented me forming any serious design. ... Nor am I ashamed of the feelings I related. They were natural and just." (171)

Pathos:
"In vain have I Struggled. It will not do. My feelings will not be repressed. You must allow me to tell you how ardently I admire and love you." (168)
