Hidden Monster

   Caroline Bingley is an interesting character. At first glimpse she may seem charming and a decent person to talk to. When I first met here I was intimidated, for I thought she was more educated, clever, and powerful than I. I was wrong. After getting to know her I drew back the curtain on her act and found a jealous and scared monster. I no longer felt intimidated by her and no longer put up a fuss about her continuous insults. For I knew them to come from a threatened state of mind, where I was the one threatening her. Mr. Darcy is the center of her life and without him Caroline would be extremely lost and forgotten. When Darcy's eyes fell and stayed upon me, of course Caroline felt threatened. So when Darcy called me extremely beautiful today, I could only expect an attack from Caroline. Typical.
