Darcy's letter- Courtship

“I write without any intention of paining you, or humbling myself, by dwelling on wishes which, for the happiness of both, cannot be too soon forgotten”

Darcy opens his letter to Elizabeth still loving her, but without the intention of wooing her at this particular point. He admits his wrong doings, but does not continue in pursuing the lady he loves. By doing this, Elizabeth begins to see the other side to Darcy which did not seem apparent in the first half of their relationship. Sometimes, the best way to win someone’s heart is by not trying to do so and being yourself.
