Pride and Prejudice (Pg. 125)

15. “You must allow me to tell you how ardently I admire and love you…His sense of her inferiority…of family obstacles…” (Page 125):
Mr. Darcy's declaration of love for Elizabeth is a perfect example of the complications of love throughout the novel. Darcy has felt as if he is unable to acknowledge his love for Elizabeth because of own beliefs of social class. There were many obstacles to overcome to get true love in Pride and Prejudice. The most obvious of these obstacles are pride and prejudice. However, she concludes the novel with Elizabeth and Darcy together. The reader may be surprised by these emotions Mr. Darcy expresses but it serves to make the story even more appealing. Austen has developed Mr. Darcy and Elizabeth’s characters in similar ways and is now developing the pride and prejudice theme even further showing us that too much pride leads to prejudice and how disastrous that can be.
