Abstract
This paper examines the premise of pride and prejudice in relation to the characters of Elizabeth and Darcy in Jane Austen's "Pride and Prejudice". The author points out that the public behaviors of Darcy's pride makes him appear to be an arrogant and self-serving young man. The paper relates that his behaviors are not driven by mere vanity but by a true desire to associate with only the most moral and noble of persons. The author underscores that Elizabeth holds a prejudice against Darcy's public image and must invariably undergo an evolutionary change to realize Darcy's private moral and upstanding convictions. The paper concludes that, when Elizabeth realizes that Darcy is prideful, gruff and impersonal to people who are immoral and vice-prone, she understands that this is a form of pride upon which to form a marriage.
From the Paper
"When Elizabeth hears of this private side of Darcy's personality, she is astonished to realize that he does not behave proudly out of mere arrogance, but out of his own conviction for just actions and moral fortitude. This also forces Elizabeth to reconsider her rejection of Darcy first marriage proposal, but the issue of pride in Darcy's attitudes is not founded on vanity; which also provides more evidence for Elizabeth to consider accepting Darcy if he should propose marriage to her again."

Abstract
This paper explains that Jane Austen's novel "Pride and Prejudice" is structured around aspects of pride versus prejudice. The author points out that most of the characters depict these traits in their behaviors and their personalities as seen in proud Darcy and prejudiced Elizabeth. The paper concludes that this book is really about love because, in the end, the reigning aspect of love is able to ultimately dominate and dissolve any form of pride or prejudice previously existing in Austen's characters.
From the Paper
"The initial meeting of Elizabeth Bennet and Mr. Darcy at the Meryton Ball overall establishes this theme of pride versus prejudice in the novel. Mr. Bingley, having already been interested in Jane Bennet, suggests to Mr. Darcy that he ask Lizzie to dance. Mr. Darcy's initial reaction to Bingley's offer reflects his opinion of the lower class of society, and his assurance that he is well above and beyond socially inferior women such as Lizzie."

Abstract
This paper explains that Jane Austen's "Pride and Prejudice" demonstrates a heroic effort to pierce the adversity and triumphantly overcome the cultural norms of early 1800s culture England in which relationships were determined by societal expectations, which opposed feminist views. The author applies the Patriarchal Power Model, in which the father has the most power; the mother is dependent upon him and the children are dependent upon her; the children are powerless against their parents and seek to create a pecking orders among themselves and their peers to the novel. The paper relates birth-order theory, family systems dynamics, psychoanalytic theory especially the struggle between the id and superego and characteristics of passivity, aggressive and assertive behavior to the characters and situations in "Pride and Prejudice".
From the Paper
"Mrs. Bennet is the most evident to show the dysfunction of their family but ultimately emotions are not spoken of, and all try to keep peace at any cost. The Bennet's show a relationship in which the id's overbearing rule also causes repression to the ego. Mrs. Bennet resembles a codependent, which would be typical in this time era due to the position that women were to accept of themselves. Codependent's can be very damaging in a relationship for many reasons but feministic understanding of this time projects a woman to be nothing other, because they were not allowed an education or to acquire anything for themselves outside of their relationship with their husbands and children. A single woman in this culture could not work to attain money enough for her livelihood, or own property outside of a male relation."

Abstract
The paper author feels that "Pride and Prejudice" is Jane Austen's most important work because it is a social commentary on the rules, regulation and practices of her times. This paper describes portions of "Pride and Prejudice that portray negatively the life of the clergyman Williams Collins. The paper author states that Austen uses humor to help describe the way the stratified Victorian society perceived various occupations and institutions.
From the Paper
"In other words, while the Church was significant, its clergies were not respected by the nineteenth century society. People would either ridicule them or shun them completely as it appears from this novel. William Collins is made fun in almost every scene in which he makes an appearance. Anthony Trollope has this to say about Austen?s art and her views on clergymen, ?Miss Austen was surely a great novelist. What she did, she did perfectly. Her work, as far as it goes, is faultless. She wrote of the times in which she lived, of the class of people with which she associated, and in the language, which was usual to her as an educated lady? "

Abstract
This paper takes the theme of romance in the novel "Pride and Prejudice" by Jane Austen and relates it to the theme of romance in the 21st century. It demonstrates how although it is set in England in upper-class households over two hundred years ago in the year 1813, the events in the plot and the attributes of the characters still relate to people today. It shows how ultimately, the book withstands the test of time because people in the 19th century and people in the 21st century all possess the same interests and desires that all revolve around relationships: to gossip and chat about love matches, to find a soul mate and to marry that soul mate for true love.
From the Paper
"One character in the novel who is lucky enough to find her true love and be married is Elizabeth Bennet. Because she ends up with an idealized lifestyle of a lavishly rich future shared with a charming man who is the star of a small town, she instantly attracts the audience and connects with them as she faces the trials and tribulations leading up to her final victory. Elizabeth?s fabulous prospects are not the only things that attract the audience though. She is the strong heroine of the novel, and the only one who eventually sees the light. Elizabeth is the only one of all of the Bennet sisters, who marries solely for love, and even gets consent from her father to do so, when he pulls her into his office and reads the letter from Mr. Collins telling explaining the betrothal between Mr. Darcy and Elizabeth to Mr. Bennet."

From the Paper
"This paper will analyze Jane Austen's use of irony in expressing psychological truths and character development in "Pride and Prejudice". One of the purposes of her use of irony in this novel is to allow the reader to be "put in a privileged position of knowing more than any of the characters know individually". ... Austen's ironic tone "distances the reader from involvement in the story so that they identify with the narrator as well as with the character". This results in a sense of literary detachment in which the author is able to convey essential truths to the reader which the characters of the novel are themselves unaware of. Thus, Austen's use of irony in Pride and Prejudice "creates a relationship between the narrator and her readers; her wit telegraphs information to them about which the characters ... "

Abstract
This paper explains that, in Austen's "Pride and Prejudice,",the lessons the character, Elizabeth, learns about others and herself are significant to her development. The author points out that the male characters, Wickham and Darcy, teach Elizabeth that people can appear to be something they are not. The paper relates that Elizabeth also learns lessons about herself; however, these painful lessons force Elizabeth to mature in ways that she might not have without these experiences.
From the Paper
"Another major player in Elizabeth's education is Darcy. Austen utilizes Darcy as Wickham's foil and the story has texture because Elizabeth and Darcy do not share a mutual fondness for each other from the onset of the novel. In fact, it could be said that Elizabeth and Darcy's story begins with an equal dislike for one another. Wickham's involvement in her feelings toward Darcy adds complexity to the novel. Darcy does not help the situation with his treatment of Mr. Bingley. It is also important to realize that Elizabeth's pride in being right is also a contender in her education."

Jane Austen's "Pride & Prejudice", 1997.

From the Paper
"This study will examine Jane Austen's novel Pride and Prejudice and its relationship to the Romantic movement. The Romantic movement focused in subject and form on a loosening of the restrictions of the earlier Classical and neo-Classical movements. The Romantic movement involved a more free and subjective description and expression of personal passion and feelings which were not present in idealistic Classical literature. Austen's novel can hardly be called blatant in its largely genteel treatment of passion between the sexes, but it is nevertheless a step toward such openness in comparison to Classical works. More importantly for the focus of this study, Austen treats romantic love and its ideal end in marital bliss with an irony which is perhaps absent from much other Romantic literature. Austen focuses on the subjects of love, passion.."

From the Paper
"Jane Austen's novel Pride and Prejudice is structured around the theme of pride versus prejudice, with characters showing aspects of each of these traits in their behavior and in their personalities. Both major and minor characters reflect issues of pride and instances of prejudice as common characteristics that shape their actions, usually without their being at all aware of it. The terms "pride" and "prejudice" contrast particularly as essential characteristics of Darcy (the proud) and Elizabeth (the prejudiced) as they learn to overcome their natural inclinations sufficiently to come together. Austen does not simply present these characters as representatives of these character traits as would be found in an allegory, and indeed both traits are evident in both characters in some degree. What Austen shows is that the society of the time is so guided by issues of pride and prejudice..."

"In the book Pride and Prejudice, there are so many valuable themes and ideas that it could be explored endlessly. Jane Austen?s use of character development and Elizabeth, the protagonist, can help the reader to recognize the intention and feelings of the author. These things make it very obvious what Austen is thinking: that Elizabeth is a very remarkable young woman due to her confidence, which allows her intelligence to shine through, all the while making her less trapped than the other young women in the novel."

From the Paper
"In Jane Austen?s England marriage wasn?t a boy meets girl romance. Marriage was a complex web that entangled almost everything: money, family, tradition, society. Ironically and unfortunately, the feelings of the two individuals involved was not high on the list of qualifications for a good marriage. Few were able to resist outside pressures and exercise their right of personal choice in finding a lifelong mate. Among those lucky few were Darcy and Elizabeth and Bingley and Jane. A balance of personality and love existed, and the assumption can be made that each couple would be happy in their marriages. The importance of love and equality in a relationship is continually stressed throughout the novel as the reader is shown the alternatives and the negative and positive consequences of marriage."

From the Paper
"Pride is one of the seven deadly sins, and pride is often seen in tragedy as the fatal flaw of a character. Such is the case for Achilles or Oedipus, pride prevents them from behaving as they should and leads to downfall. Pride is often a critical element in fiction, with characters committing the sin of pride and with pride being one of the social sins criticized by the author. This is apparent in both Daisy Miller by Henry James and Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen. In the first, pride causes a group of people to make assumptions about a young woman and to treat her as inferior because she does not measure up to their elevated and false view of themselves. In the second, pride is shown to keep two people apart who have feelings for one another and who have more in common than otherwise.

From the Paper
"This study will examine and compare the views of male-female relationships and marriage in Ernest Hemingway's The Sun Also Rises (Brett and Romero), Virginia Woolf's Mrs. Dalloway (Clarissa and Richard), and Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice (Elizabeth and Darcy). The study will show that the Brett-Romero relationship is the most passionate, shallow and brief, while the Elizabeth-Darcy and Clarissa-Richard relationships are relatively without passion and yet will probably survive precisely because both partners seek a long-term union with stability and security rather than short-term passion. In all three relationships, the more fascinating and more fully examined member is the woman, with each reflecting a different level of passion, liberation, and self-knowledge.
