Why isn't Colonel George Fitzwilliam in every play/movie/version of Pride and Prejudice? He is wonderfully congenial and of all the characters the one I would most likely want to marry. He is a sorely understated character. I read Mr. Darcy's Wife (a sequel to P&P written by Linda Berdoli. It looks like a respectable novel, and at points is on, but mainly is a romance novel. My friends and I have dubbed it the Darcy Porno...) and Fitzwilliam is a predominate character. He is full of kindness and perfectly wonderful. I think if I didn't believe that Darcy and Elizabeth belong together I would really like Elizabeth with Fitzwilliam (he wants the same. In the Darcy Porno this is very obvious and very sad. Unrequited love is the saddest ever.)
