Pride + Prejudice < Love

In Pride and Prejudice, Darcy is the character that represents Pride and Elizabeth is the one that symbolizes prejudice. Those are very strong characteristics that they have at the beginning of the book. However, those characteristics diminish as Mr. Darcy and Elizabeth feel the affection towards one another.

-Mr. Darcy does not show much pride when he proposes to Elizabeth. According to his previous actions or attitudes, he would give her up since she refused him once, but he does the opposite.

-Despite the prejudice Elizabeth had against Mr. Darcy, she falls in love with him at the end. She realizes that she was wrong about Mr. Darcy and changes her attitude from cynical to moderately positive.

-They show a more maturity when treating each other.
