Through a shifting point of view and selection of detail, Auste\n exhibits this sharp change of perceived character.

In order to convey this, Austen uses two contrasting characters to portray society’s perspective towards them to the reader, displaying how people are too quick to judge others based upon their appearances and income. Mr. Bingley is noted by the onlookers for his intrinsic extrovertist qualities and sociability, and becomes well-loved among the partiers. Mr. Darcy, conversely, is initially noted for his extrinsic qualities such as his salary and estate, as well as his physical attractiveness. These judgments suggest a society overly focused on outward appearances and fiscal attributes.

In order to convey this, Austen uses two contrasting characters to portray society’s perspective towards them to the reader, displaying how people are too quick to judge people based off one’s appearance and income. Mr. Bingly is noted by the onlookers for his intrinsic extrovertist qualities and sociability, and becomes well-loved among the partiers. Mr. Darcy, conversely, is initially noted for his extrinsic qualities such as his salary and estate, as well as his physical attractiveness. He is later considered overly proud and even rude when he does not meet the expectations placed upon him by these extrinsic factors and does not engage with the party. These judgements suggest a society overly focused on outward appearances and fiscal attributes.
