Mr. Darcy appears to be very dull and indifferent in the beginning of Pride and Prejudice. He is not quite amiable and hard to approach. His attitude changes a lot through out the story. He becomes more expressive and active as he realizes his affection for Elizabeth.
He changes from :
"She is tolerable; but not handsome enough to tempt me; I am in no humour at present to give consequence to young ladies who are slighted by other men. You had better return to your partner and enjoy her smiles, for you are wasting your time with me." (Mr Darcy Ch. 3)
to :
"Your conjecture is totally wrong, I assure you. My mind was more agreeably engaged. I have been meditating on the very great pleasure which a pair of fine eyes in the face of a pretty woman can bestow." (Mr Darcy Ch. 6)
