Pride and Prejudice • 1813
Nobody can tell what I suffer! But it is always so. Those who do not complain are never pitied.
Behind the line
What it means
Our interpretation.
The speaker feels their pain goes unseen and complains, with some self-pity, that this is how things always go. In their view, people who bear suffering quietly get no sympathy, while only those who voice their troubles are noticed and pitied.
