Mr. Darcy
Pride and Prejudice
The original bae, Mr. Darcy has it all: looks, money, social standing, coiffed hair. He’s the bachelor to end all bachelors, and though it is his uncouth and snobbish slight of our lovely heroine Elizabeth that sets much of the plot of Pride and Prejudice into action, he more than makes up for his bad behavior by the novel’s end:
I was taught what was right, but I was not taught to correct my temper. I was given good principles, but left to follow them in pride and conceit. […] I was spoilt by my parents, who, though good themselves […] almost taught me to be selfish and overbearing; to care for none beyond my own family circle; to think meanly of all the rest of the world; to wish at least to think meanly of their sense and worth compared with my own.
