We see Passion v Practicality all throughout the entire novel of "Pride and Prejudice". A very obvious example is Mrs Bennet and Miss Lucas(later Mrs Collins) marrying for practicality since it was their only way of a secure future, and Jane and Elizabeth trying to marry for Passion. Jane might have married Mr Bingley for a mix of both however she did have strong and true feelings for him, while Elizabeth rejected multiple people even her later husband, Mr Darcy. However it was not "normal" to marry for passion in this period of time.

# data[].attributes.body
In this time period women hardly had any rights and if they did they were very slim. They could only marry to improve their status and secure their future and men had high standards for their women/wife's. But our protagonist Elizabeth Bennet goes against all norms, instead "always looking her best" she often does not and cares about more important matters at hand for example when Jane Bennet, her sister was sick. Elizabeth walked all the way from her house to Mr Bingley's. She is not a stereotypical women in that period of time which makes her in my opinion a very interesting character.

# data[].attributes.body
When the Bennets go to Mr Bingley's ball they encounter Mr Darcy and quickly realize he seems to be a "snobbish","disrespectful" and "ignorant" man and they immediately dislike him. Later when Elizabeth speaks of her engagement with Mr Darcy her family thinks it is a joke and they don't believe her since Elizabeth was presumably the one who disliked Mr Darcy the most but when they realize he treats her well and they truly love each other they become happy for her.

# data[].attributes.body
In my opinion Prejudice is the most important  theme in the novel "pride and Prejudice", because we see this everywhere from Mr Darcy's first impression of Elizabeth to Lady Catherine thinking Elizabeth is just after Mr Darcy's money. This theme is still a big issue in our society today. We always have prejudice against a certain group of people whether we realize this or not. This often comes from our past experiences we made with people similar to them. Our brain works in that way to keep us safe from potential danger. However Prejudice is an issue because it leads people to be mean and disrespectful to one another. We can never truly overcome this because we all are human but we can try to be nice and act accordingly since Prejudice often "hurts" others.

# data[].attributes.body
The most blatant example of prejudice in the book is Lady Catherine's character as a whole. Everything she does shows that she cares about her status over everything else. When anyone below her in class speaks to her or does something in a way she dislikes they are ridiculed. The best example is when she goes to confront Elizabeth about her and Darcy's alleged marriage. When Elizabeth wont conform to the idea she shouldn't marry Darcy Lady Catherine is livid and goes off on Elizabeth.

# data[].attributes.body
Elizabeth shows pride in herself when she doesn't accept just anyone to marry her even though there are wealthy men trying to marry her. She is prideful in herself to the point that she doesn't see her upbringing as a bad thing and wont simply marry to be wealthy. In the end she gets married to Darcy not for his wealth but for him as a whole.

# data[].attributes.body
Charlotte marries Mr. Collins for practical reasons not because she truly cares about him and ends up well off. Lydia marries Mr. Wickham in passion and ends up in a fairly bad spot. Finally Elizabeth marries Darcy for a mixture of practical and passionate reasons making for a strong relationship that seems like it will last the longest.

When Elizabeth first meets Mr. Darcy she sees him as snobish and classist. Darcy turns out to be very kind and very shy. Eventually he breaks through his shyness and tells Elizabeth how he really feels about her in a very kind and caring way. This is very different from what she first thought of him and shows how her first impression was wrong.

# data[].attributes.body
At the end of the book it is clear practicality is still the main goal in finding marriage. Lydia runs away with Wickham, which they end up getting married. They in no way love each other and only got married for money/inheritance. However, despite practicality...Lizzy is the only one who finds passion in marriage. The book ends with Darcy and Lizzy happily in love.

# data[].attributes.body
When Lizzy first met Mr. Wickham she slowly began to fall for him. She thought he was a sincere and genuine guy. However, Lizzy eventually heard the full story from Darcy and came to the realization that he is actually the complete opposite. Her first impression was wrong, Wickham portrayed himself in a friendly manner to give off this impression.

# data[].attributes.body
Women at this time didn't have much status until married. The main goal was to find a husband, in order to move up that hierarchy. Many weren't picky with an opportunity at hand. However, despite the roles during this time Elizabeth challenged them. Lizzy rejected Mr. Collins and Darcy the first time.

# data[].attributes.body
Pride is shown through the character of Mr. Darcy. Mr. Darcy is first introduced at the ball, where he only dances with a few girls and "rejects" Elizabeth. He feels above Lizzy because of his higher status and judges her. Darcy perceives her as not worthy enough for him.

Mr. Darcy breaks the rules of Passion vs. Practically by proposing to Elizabeth twice. It would be practical of him to marry someone that would be beneficial for him. Instead, he marries Elizabeth because he truly loves her. He doesn't care about how wealthy she is or her history. - Emily Yenter

# data[].attributes.body
An example of this would be that at the beginning of the book, Mr. Darcy thought he was superior to Elizabeth because he was wealthier than her. He called her "tolerable" because he didn't think she was good enough to talk or dance with him. -Emily Yenter

# data[].attributes.body
An example of First Impressions in this book would be that the first time Elizabeth met Mr. Darcy at the ball, she judged him based on the first bad interaction they shared. It wasn't until later in the book, she finally got to learn more about him and realized that he isn't the person she thought he was. -Emily Yenter

# data[].attributes.body
An example of woman's choices in this book would be Mr. Collins's proposal. Since Mr. Collins knew that he would receive the Bennet's money after Mr. Bennet died, he decided to propose to Elizabeth. He assumed that she would say yes because he has money, but she declined. Mrs. Bennet was mad at Elizabeth because of this. This was abnormal for Elizabeth to decline the proposal because, in this period of time, Women were supposed to marry for money, even if they didn't love the man. -Emily Yenter

# data[].attributes.body
At the end of the book it shows how passion usually beats practicality and how people are usually happier with someone they love not just someone who has money. -Peyton

# data[].attributes.body
Passion vs Practicality happens with Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy. At first it seems practical for Elizabeth to marry Mr. Darcy on his first proposal because he is much more wealthy than her. Instead Elizabeth rejects him and looks for love instead of money which is an example of passion.

Jane's first impression of Caroline was that they could possibly be friends and get along together and she did not want to believe that Caroline would try to separate her and Bingley, but eventually Jane realized she played a part in trying to get Bingley away from her and that she was prejudice against Jane and her family.

Women don't get many choices when it comes to moving up in life. In order to increase your wealth you have to marry someone with wealth, which is pretty difficult when most of them have big egos. Like Charlotte marrying Mr. Collins, except Mr. Collins doesn't have an ego. -seth

These are seen throughout the book and the two most obvious ones are Darcy and Wickham. They turn out being the opposite of what we thought they were. -Peyton

First impressions are seen throughout the entire book but the most important first impression to the plot of the story is Elizabeth's negative impression of Mr. Darcy at the first ball.

Elizabeth's first impression on Mr Darcy was very wrong.

A great example of how first impressions change throughout the book is how Elizabeth and Darcy end up getting married in the end. When Darcy and Elizabeth have their first interaction Darcy makes very rude remarks about her and it causes the initial first impression of Darcy to be poor.
