How we cite our quotes: (Chapter.Paragraph)
Quote #1
It is a truth universally acknowledged that a zombie in possession of brains must be in want of more brains. Never was this truth more plain than during the recent attacks at Netherfield Park, in which a household of eighteen was slaughtered and consumed by a horde of the living dead. (1.1)
Okay, so right in the very first lines of the book, we get a zombie attack. This is a lucky break for the Bennet sisters, though: since everyone at Netherfield Park has died, the house is up for rent, and Mr. Bingley gets to move in. Score.
Quote #2
From a corner of the room, Mr. Darcy watched Elizabeth and her sisters work their way outward, beheading zombie after zombie as they went. He knew of only one other woman in all of Great Britain who wielded a dagger with such skill, such grace, and deadly accuracy. (3.20)
When zombies attack the public ball, the Bennet sisters spring into action with the Pentagram of Death. Other than this, the night is really quite nice.
Quote #3
They looked up and let loose their terrible roars, which were cut short by a violent, fiery explosion as pipe and oil met. Suddenly engulfed, the zombies staggered about, flailing wildly and screaming as they cooked. Jane raised her Brown Bess, but Elizabeth pushed the barrel aside.
"Let them burn," she said. "Let them have a taste of eternity."
Turning to her cousin, who had averted his eyes, she added, "You see, Mr. Collins…God has no mercy. And neither must we."
Though angered by her blasphemy, he thought better of saying anything on the matter, for he saw in Elizabeth's eyes a kind of darkness; a kind of absence—as if her soul had taken leave, so that compassion and warmth could not interfere. (62.14-17)
And Mr. Collins still wanted to marry Elizabeth after this. He really is very, very stupid, isn't he?
