This is a clear example of how Lady Catherine's is viewed as being prideful and self-important, as she openly showcases her authoritative and dominant nature to society through her controlling actions, such as dictating to her nephew, Mr Darcy, who he shall and shall not marry.]]> 2020-09-14 07:59:28 UTC https://padlet.com/MsStephanie/6bxvcs51n4203wzj/wish/743186133 https://padlet.com/MsStephanie/6bxvcs51n4203wzj/wish/743228357 After reading Mr Darcy's letter regarding the situation with Mr Bingley and Mr Wickham, Elizabeth says that "He expressed no regret for what he had done which satisfied her; his style was not penitent, but haughty. It was all pride and insolence." However, when it came to the claims Darcy had made about Mr Wickham, she she wished to discredit it entirely with incredulity.

This serves as a patent example of Elizabeth's prejudice against Mr Darcy and strong pride in her discernments. With one-sided obstinacy, she is against all of his claims, contrasting how she had instantly believed Mr Wickham and formed a negative preconceived opinion on him, despite the fact that some of the details given by him were incongruent. ]]> 2020-09-14 08:25:42 UTC https://padlet.com/MsStephanie/6bxvcs51n4203wzj/wish/743228357 https://padlet.com/MsStephanie/6bxvcs51n4203wzj/wish/743228774 After Mr Darcy separated Jane and Bingley, Elizabeth judges Darcy because of the things he had said to her about her family and the way he acts around them.
“I have every reason in the world to think ill of you. No motive can excuse the unjust and ungenerous part you acted there. You dare
not, you cannot deny, that you have been the principal, if not the only
means of dividing them from each other—of exposing one to the censure of the world for caprice and instability, and the other to its derision for disappointed hopes, and involving them both in misery of the acutest kind.”]]> 2020-09-14 08:26:00 UTC https://padlet.com/MsStephanie/6bxvcs51n4203wzj/wish/743228774 https://padlet.com/MsStephanie/6bxvcs51n4203wzj/wish/743229091 Mr. Darcy's pride is evident when he first encounters Elizabeth, his overly proud self and consciousness of his social status  being motives for such behaviour. Through his conversation with Mr. Bingley, he states his opinion on Elizabeth:  "She is tolerable; but not handsome enough to tempt me.". Mr. Darcy's proud characteristics are used in a manner that causes himself to be misjudged, especially by the Bennet household. ]]> 2020-09-14 08:26:12 UTC https://padlet.com/MsStephanie/6bxvcs51n4203wzj/wish/743229091 https://padlet.com/MsStephanie/6bxvcs51n4203wzj/wish/743229196 When talking with Elizabeth Bennet, he admits to her that he has tried to  end the relationship between Mr Bingley and her sister Jane,  admitting "I have tried everything in my power to separate my friend from your sister"

This is a clear example of how Mr Darcy was prejudice against Jane Bennet, as he assumed that she was not interested and did not actually love Mr Bingley as much as he did. Showcasing that due to his assumption about her feelings, he acted and separated them without considering if what he was thinking was accurate or not.

This is a clear example of how prideful Mr Darcy is in a negative way,since he sees the people in the ball as his social inferiors.The quote also indicates that Darcy refuses to dance with someone "not handsome enough for him" and in a lower social class.Therefore, Mr.Darcy tends to judge strictly where his wealth and high birth makes him excessively proud about his social status and the people he interacts with.]]> 2020-09-14 08:26:45 UTC https://padlet.com/MsStephanie/6bxvcs51n4203wzj/wish/743229864 https://padlet.com/MsStephanie/6bxvcs51n4203wzj/wish/743230129 Elizabeth Bennet, the second of the five sisters, has a tendency for making snap judgments. When she first meets Mr. Darcy at the beginning of the novel,  she assumes the worst of him and perceives him as an arrogant and egotistical man. Unlike the Bennet family, Mr. Darcy possesses wealth and social influence which causes her to not give him the benefit of the doubt. Later on in the novel, she becomes better acquainted with Darcy's behavior and motivations and falls in love with him.

Elizabeth's prejudice is also shown when she rejects Darcy's proposal because of the incorrect assumptions she made. She accused Darcy of trying to end her sister Jane's relationship with his best friend Bingley and misjudged his character when she charged him for treated the 'charming' Officer Wickham very poorly. She later find out that she was wrong when Darcy writes her a letter explaining his actions. Darcy clarified that he simply feared that Jane didn't love Bingley and that he was protecting her family from the dangerous and shady officer.]]> 2020-09-14 08:26:55 UTC https://padlet.com/MsStephanie/6bxvcs51n4203wzj/wish/743230129 https://padlet.com/MsStephanie/6bxvcs51n4203wzj/wish/743230724 At the beginning of the novel, Mr Darcy is seen by the Bennets and the rest of the people at the local ball as a conceited, selfish man who only cares for himself as he was seen standing in the corner, refusing to dance or meet new people and was heard making assumptions about Elizabeth Bennet. Throughout the novel it is revealed through Mr Darcy's actions that he is actually caring and selfless and overprotective, you could say. This is a clear example of prejudice as Elizabeth Bennet, her family, and many others at the local ball had a pre-judgement about Mr Darcy. ]]> 2020-09-14 08:27:20 UTC https://padlet.com/MsStephanie/6bxvcs51n4203wzj/wish/743230724 https://padlet.com/MsStephanie/6bxvcs51n4203wzj/wish/743232535 People assumed Mr. Darcy that he was a good-looking rich man, but he was too arrogant. However, throughout the novel it became evident that Mr. Darcy was not like that, in fact, he was caring.
Darcy also shows prejudice as he was very quick to judge when he'd see new people. For example, when he first mentioned to Mr. Bingley, "She is tolerable; but not handsome enough to tempt me." This was the scene where he was talking about Elizabeth Bennet after seeing her for the first time.
Due to Mr. Darcy being a prideful character, the Bennet family end up being prejudiced against him.]]> 2020-09-14 08:28:35 UTC https://padlet.com/MsStephanie/6bxvcs51n4203wzj/wish/743232535 20091852 https://padlet.com/MsStephanie/6bxvcs51n4203wzj/wish/743232930 Mr Collins had told Elizabeth as she was getting ready to go back home that is was as though Charlotte and him were "designed for each other" even though they had been barely married for long. (prejudice?) ]]> 2020-09-14 08:28:55 UTC https://padlet.com/MsStephanie/6bxvcs51n4203wzj/wish/743232930 https://padlet.com/MsStephanie/6bxvcs51n4203wzj/wish/743232934 When introducing Mr Darcy, Mrs Bennet says, "For he is a most disagreeable, horrid man, not at all worth pleasing. So high and so conceited, that there is no enduring him. He walked here, and he walked there, fancying himself so great. Not handsome enough to dance with. I wish i had been there, my dear, to have given him one of your set-downs. I quite detest the man." In the beginning, there was a collective perception from the Bennet family, where Mr Darcy is a conceited, arrogant man, only taking himself into account. This prejudgment of Mr Darcy's character defies his actions that take a play on the events that occurred in the novel later on. ]]> 2020-09-14 08:28:55 UTC https://padlet.com/MsStephanie/6bxvcs51n4203wzj/wish/743232934 https://padlet.com/MsStephanie/6bxvcs51n4203wzj/wish/743237900 Mr Collins behavior after Elizabeth rejected him proposal further illustrates his prideful/snobbery character. He continued gloating about his endless fortunes and how big of a mistake she was making, on account of his multiple high-class connections and social status. This is a clear example of where Mr Collins has been extremely prideful that it came off as narcissistic and arrogant. Jane Austen has rightfully described Mr Collins as "a mixture or pride and obsequiousness, self-importance and humility." He is painted to be a social climber who is easily and solely impressed by high titles. Furthermore, he deems individuals any lower than him as unworthy of the same amount of respect that he gives those who are in high status, such as Lady Catherine.]]> 2020-09-14 08:32:12 UTC https://padlet.com/MsStephanie/6bxvcs51n4203wzj/wish/743237900 https://padlet.com/MsStephanie/6bxvcs51n4203wzj/wish/743238211 Mr. Darcy's pride is conspicuous and he makes it clear that he sees himself as superior to the other characters when he says " there is not another women in the room whom it would not be a punishment for me to dance with". he indicates that he does not find the women at the ball attractive for his high standards. 

Mr. Darcy also shows prejudice in the novel, were he is very quick to make judgments about people he meets. Mr. Darcy does not keep it to himself. For example, he admits Elizabeth that he has tried to end the relationship between Jane and bingley, saying " i have done everything in my power to separate my friend from your sister".]]> 2020-09-14 08:32:28 UTC https://padlet.com/MsStephanie/6bxvcs51n4203wzj/wish/743238211 https://padlet.com/MsStephanie/6bxvcs51n4203wzj/wish/743238761 Mr Collins: “It is usual with young ladies to reject the addresses of the man whom they secretly mean to accept.” "I flatter myself that your refusal is merely a natural delicacy. Besides, despite manifold attractions, it is by no means certain another offer of marriage will ever be made to you."

This example is the embodiment of being blinded by self-conceit. Mr Collins assumes that Elizabeth will willingly accept his proposal, despite not having received any affection from her. His reasons for a proposal were mortifying as one of his main ones were because Lady Catherine had recommended him to do so. Once again, due to pride and arrogance, he is sanguine that she will give in to him sooner or later when she rejects.]]> 2020-09-14 08:32:51 UTC https://padlet.com/MsStephanie/6bxvcs51n4203wzj/wish/743238761 https://padlet.com/MsStephanie/6bxvcs51n4203wzj/wish/743240824 Mr. Collins showcases a sort of positive prejudice towards Lady Catherine as he thinks that every action she performs is well planned out and is intelligent and is always in the right step. This is because Mr. Collins is prejudiced by Lady Catherine's immense wealth and her high status in the social class.]]> 2020-09-14 08:34:24 UTC https://padlet.com/MsStephanie/6bxvcs51n4203wzj/wish/743240824 20102029 https://padlet.com/MsStephanie/6bxvcs51n4203wzj/wish/743243374 Elizabeth, when thinking back about her regard for Wickham: "As to his real character, had information been in her power, she had never felt a wish of inquiring. His countenance, voice, and manner had established him at once in the possession of every virtue."

Elizabeth displays prejudice through her initial judgement of Wickham; through his countenance and the disposition he displayed when they first met, Elizabeth thought Wickham to be but a noble man and found it unnecessary to truly prove these conjectures. ]]> 2020-09-14 08:35:56 UTC https://padlet.com/MsStephanie/6bxvcs51n4203wzj/wish/743243374 https://padlet.com/MsStephanie/6bxvcs51n4203wzj/wish/743244877 Darcy shows pride towards Elizabeth when he proposes to her for the second time. "You are too generous to trifle with me. If your feelings are still what they were last April, tell me so at once.

He also once reflected how unpleasant it should be to spend time with Mrs Bennet when he was talking with Elizabeth, however she did not comment back to any of those insulting phrases. Which was due to the fact that she was too proud of herself and stubborn to admit to these comments about her dysfunctional family.  ]]> 2020-09-14 08:37:46 UTC https://padlet.com/MsStephanie/6bxvcs51n4203wzj/wish/743246020 https://padlet.com/MsStephanie/6bxvcs51n4203wzj/wish/743246306 When Mr Collins is invited over for dinner, it can clearly be seen that no members of the Bennet family find him tolerable, they can be seen mocking him behind his back and not taking him seriously, all except for Mrs Bennet, who sees him as an opportunity for her family to earn inheritance and wealth. She seems to like him and find him tolerable in comparison to Elizabeth and Mr Bennet. When Elizabeth refuses to marry him, Mrs Bennet is outraged but later on understands that he is not fit for her, once she marries Mr Darcy. This can be considered an example of prejudice as Mrs. Bennet judged Mr Collins as a tolerable and acceptable man for Elizabeth based off of his wealth and inheritance.]]> 2020-09-14 08:37:59 UTC https://padlet.com/MsStephanie/6bxvcs51n4203wzj/wish/743246306 20180248 https://padlet.com/MsStephanie/6bxvcs51n4203wzj/wish/743247203 Mr. Collins' manners are very stiff and upright and in addition to that, his politeness is exaggerated, Jane Austen highlights his ridiculous character. However, with his uptight manners come both pride and prejudice. It is very clear that Mr. Collins is proud, where the narrator states; "his veneration for her (Lady Catherine) as his patroness, mingling with a very good opinion of himself, of his authority as a clergyman, and his right as a rector, made him altogether a mixture of pride and obsequiousness, self-importance, and humility."]]> 2020-09-14 08:38:37 UTC https://padlet.com/MsStephanie/6bxvcs51n4203wzj/wish/743247203 20102029 https://padlet.com/MsStephanie/6bxvcs51n4203wzj/wish/743249695 When Elizabeth informed Lady Catherine that she was brought up without a governess, the latter exclaimed “Then, who taught you? who attended to you? Without a governess, you must have been neglected.” This presumptuous statement displays Lady Catherines prejudice in that she imputed an unnurturing upbringing was simply a product of a lack of governess. Her domineering nature led her to produce this prejudice against the Bennet family with no real inquiry pertaining to any other aspect of their domiciliary atmosphere. In addition to this prejudice against the Bennet family, Lady Catherine's prejudices particularly against Elizabeth prevail; Austen writes "Miss Bennet I am shocked and astonished. I expected to find a more reasonable young woman." This dialogue, directed by Lady Catherine to Elizabeth, is a palpable display of the former's prejudices being challenged. Lady Catherine conjectures that a woman of a status as low as Elizabeths would be docile to her social superiors; which Elizabeth evidently wasn't. Although this presumptuous remark seemingly stems from Lady Catherine's elitism --which is partly true--  it can also be attributed to the 19th century's standards for women that put them in a position of powerlessness; therefore it's only natural that she expected Elizabeth to conform on that score.

Whilst she was trying to persuade Elizabeth not to marry darcy she tells her " you are a gentleman's daughter. But who was your mother? Who are your aunts and uncles? Do not imagine me being ignorant of their condition". This is an example of pride, as Lady Catherine's does not hesitate in giving any opinion on any matter.

Furthermore, when confronting Elizabeth in her home, she asserts that if they were to engage, it would "disgrace him in the eyes of everybody."

This exhibits pride in a multitude of distinctive ways. Her quickly-formed judgements on the Bennet family based on the appearance of Longbourn clearly indicates her arrogance (snootiness) and elitism. As a result of pride and prejudice, Lady Catherine could not believe that Mr Darcy had fallen for Elizabeth and instead is convinced that he had been tricked into proposing, despite Elizabeth's refusal.]]> 2020-09-14 08:46:44 UTC https://padlet.com/MsStephanie/6bxvcs51n4203wzj/wish/743260465 https://padlet.com/MsStephanie/6bxvcs51n4203wzj/wish/743263334 2020-09-14 08:48:25 UTC https://padlet.com/MsStephanie/6bxvcs51n4203wzj/wish/743263334 https://padlet.com/MsStephanie/6bxvcs51n4203wzj/wish/743263496 Throughout the novel, Elizabeth Bennet has shown herself to be extremely prejudice against high-status characters.

She is selfish and sees highly of her family and their reputation and believes that if Mr Darcy and Elizabeth are to be wed, it will lower their reputation. This is an example of pride.

She is extremely proud of all her abilities; for example when Elizabeth dines at Rosings, Lady Catherine boasts about her musical taste and says that she would have been very good at playing the piano if she had ever learnt to do it. Furthermore, she possesses the bad kind of pride; she is condescending to the Collinses, the Lucases and Elizabeth, and Mr. Collins states that "she likes to have the distinction of rank preserved".

In the beginning, there was a collective perception from the Bennet family, where Mr Darcy is placed as the conceited, arrogant man, who only takes himself into account. In the early events of the novel, Mr Darcy lived up to the detestable claims made by the Bennet family. This was evident when Mr Darcy divided himself from the rest of the people in the ball, looking down upon those surrounding him, with such superiority; His continuous refusal to dance with anyone was solely driven by his higher social status. This was then followed by assumptions made up about Elizabeth Bennet by Mr Darcy himself. However, the Bennets’ prejudgment of Mr Darcy's character was defied by his actions that appeared later throughout the novel. Mr Darcy’s strong desire for Elizabeth Bennet and the sudden empathy for the Bennets’ reputation took a toll on revealing his true characteristics. His knowledge of Lydia Bennets’ fleeing with Mr Wickham instantly drove him to track the two down, despite Mr Darcy’s poor relationship with Mr Wickham. Mr Wickham was paid off by Mr Darcy in hopes of joining Lydia and Mr Wickham in a marriage, thus avoiding social disgrace. This is a clear example of the prejudice against Mr Darcy from the Bennet family, considering the lengths Mr Darcy went to to salvage their reputation.

Darcy has made it clear multiple times that if an individual was not within his high social circle, he will immediately disdain them. For instance, Darcy sheds his superiority on the country’s people when he says “There is not another woman in the room, whom it would not be a punishment for me to stand up with.” This shows that Mr Darcy thinks highly of himself, as there were no women at the ball sophisticated enough to entice him. Moreover, he was also extremely prideful towards Elizabeth. This is shown in the way he engages with her in a conversation. In the beginning, he seemed to be grim and unwelcoming towards her. This elitism mindset that Darcy has acquired was ultimately the reason why he was separated by Elizabeth Bennet. Society’s conventions tell him that he too is upper-class and superior to her middle-class self. However, by the denouement of the novel, Darcy overcomes this mentality and finds himself drawn to her and they were indispensable to each other, showing character development.]]> 2020-09-16 16:22:37 UTC https://padlet.com/MsStephanie/6bxvcs51n4203wzj/wish/752265911 20102029 https://padlet.com/MsStephanie/6bxvcs51n4203wzj/wish/752441693 Austen's Pride and Prejudice utilises Mr Collins' character as a representation of the social climb from a modest, idyllic life to a sententious one rife in high-class connections. In addition to his default superiority over Elizabeth due to being a man in the 19th century, Mr Collins boasts his connections and high status to convince her that he is a suitable candidate for being her partner. Collins says “My situation in life, my connections with the family of de Bourgh, and my relationship to your own, are circumstances highly in my favour; and you should take it into further consideration, that in spite of your manifold attractions, it is by no means certain that another offer of marriage may ever be made you.” His shameless pompousness is evident in that he not only vaunts his status but undermines Elizabeth's, essentially telling her that she must be grateful for his proposal and thereby insinuating that a connection with him is an desirable affair.

This is shown when Elizabeth first gets acquainted to Mr Darcy. Elizabeth developed hatred towards him as she overheard Mr Darcy’s comment "She is tolerable; but not handsome enough to tempt me." She took great offense from this comment, which was justified considering it was spiteful and unnecessary. However, as the novel progresses, she is seen to be once again prejudiced against Mr Darcy after Wickham tells her the story of his past and paints Darcy as the snobby affluent man. Elizabeth, with her hatred growing towards Darcy, quickly believes the accusations made about him. Despite the warnings made from Jane, Mrs Gardiner and Caroline Bingley against Wickham, she still chooses to be bigoted against Mr Darcy. However, her views change by the denouement of the novel as she overcomes her harsh opinions to find herself completely in love with Mr Darcy.  ]]> 2020-09-16 17:21:43 UTC https://padlet.com/MsStephanie/6bxvcs51n4203wzj/wish/752535868 https://padlet.com/MsStephanie/6bxvcs51n4203wzj/wish/752873047 Lady Catherine shows pride by acting proud and snobby towards Elizabeth when she visits longbourn. 
“Let me be rightly understood. This match, to which you have the
presumption to aspire, can never take place. No, never. Mr. Darcy is
engaged to my daughter. Now what have you to say?”.
This moment in the novel is prideful because Lady Catherine belittles Elizabeth by telling her that she is no match for Mr Darcy because Elizabeth does not come from a wealthy family, and because Mr Darcy is "meant" to marry Anne de Bourgh]]> 2020-09-16 18:40:20 UTC https://padlet.com/MsStephanie/6bxvcs51n4203wzj/wish/752873047 https://padlet.com/MsStephanie/6bxvcs51n4203wzj/wish/752936996 Mr Collins is proud of himself throughout the novel, but he is not short of showing prejudice. He thinks that he is the "smartest" in the room, where in reality, he is delusional and vacuous. For example when he is having dinner with Bennets, no one seems to be taking him seriously because of his absurd personality. Mrs Bennet on the other hand wants Mr Collins to marry one of the bennet sisters so that they still have a roof over their heads, she is unable to see Mr Collins senseless and weird character.]]> 2020-09-16 18:57:58 UTC https://padlet.com/MsStephanie/6bxvcs51n4203wzj/wish/752936996 https://padlet.com/MsStephanie/6bxvcs51n4203wzj/wish/754308246 "He spoke well, but there were feelings besides those of the heart to be detailed, and he was not more eloquent on the subject of tenderness than of pride. His sense of her inferiority--of its being a degradation--of the family obstacles which judgment had always opposed too inclinations were dwelt on". Mr. Darcy not only presents his pride through his social inferiority, but even during his first proposal to Elizabeth his sense of pride made him dwell on the fact that they are not compatible with one another rather than flattering Elizabeth with compliments and praising her to announce his love for her.]]> 2020-09-17 06:49:27 UTC https://padlet.com/MsStephanie/6bxvcs51n4203wzj/wish/754308246 https://padlet.com/MsStephanie/6bxvcs51n4203wzj/wish/754332715 Mr Darcy is evidently one of the most prideful and prejudiced characters in the novel, and this is displayed through his actions. He undoubtedly drives himself away from Elizabeth as his pride causes him to make preconceived views.

For instance, Darcy says:" lol pls find the quote where he call her family embarrassing" Because Darcy was raised with good principles, he disdained Elizabeth's family who were uninhibited by nature; implying that he deserves a woman with a more graceful presentation. Although not snobbish or discourteous, Mr Darcy is cautious around Elizabeth's family since he was raised with a strict sense of decorum, and mild social anxiety. ]]> 2020-09-17 07:49:56 UTC https://padlet.com/MsStephanie/6bxvcs51n4203wzj/wish/754426161 https://padlet.com/MsStephanie/6bxvcs51n4203wzj/wish/754432743 Recurring moments depict Lady Catherines’ self-pride and superiority. With the knowledge of a potentially wedded Mr Darcy and Elizabeth Bennet, Lady Catherine’s immediate judgement of the Bennets’ social inferiority, attitude and attire is a clear indication of her self-pride and the significance she holds for her family’s reputation.

She is quite stubborn in overcoming her prejudiced opinions on Darcy, and for good reason.

For example, when he his marriage proposal was rejected by Elizabeth, he continued to re-ask the question as he couldn't believe that she would reject such a man with many important connections. He also mentions how she will regret her decision due to the reason he thinks very highly of himself and how proud he is of his connections, such as being the clergyman of Lady Catherine. ]]> 2020-09-17 09:36:43 UTC https://padlet.com/MsStephanie/6bxvcs51n4203wzj/wish/754599030 20081464 https://padlet.com/MsStephanie/6bxvcs51n4203wzj/wish/754633751 Lady Catherine can be seen as both  prideful and prejudice throughout the novel, as they come hand in hand.

With the acknowledgement of the immediate superiority one holds in the 19th century as a man, Mr Collins took advantage of not only that but continued to narcissistically voice his endless connections to Elizabeth, in hopes of impressing her into marrying him. Mr Collins’ bafflement magnified as Elizabeth rejected him, exposing his true character; He continued to undermine Elizabeth by projecting his connections with embarrassment, making her feel less worthy due to her social status. Moreover, Mr Collins’ true character was portrayed through the thick pride he upholds.

This is evident in the novel when Lady Catherina attempts to force a sense of inferiority on Elizabeth when it comes to Mr Darcy. This discourtesy behavior is the reason being that she considered that Anne, her daughter, a more suitable match for Mr Darcy with regard to social status. Although she is portrayed as an upfront lady, this often comes off as condescending as she sheds her elitism on individuals she considers inferior to herself. The unjust interrogation she conducted on Elizabeth in hopes of intimidating her showcases the typical aristocracy behavior at that time towards lower class individuals.

Prejudice can be seen through Darcy's dialogue in this quote "She is tolerable, but not handsome enough to tempt me, and I am in no humor at present to give consequence to young ladies who are slighted by other men."

This quote also shows an example of his pride as he's saying shes isnt good enough to temp him. ]]> 2020-09-20 12:15:01 UTC https://padlet.com/MsStephanie/6bxvcs51n4203wzj/wish/761926660 https://padlet.com/MsStephanie/6bxvcs51n4203wzj/wish/761932809 Pride can be seen through Elizabeth Bennet's dialogue in this quote “There is a stubbornness about me that never can bear to be frightened at the will of others.
