Pride is one of the large themes of the novel. In this quote, Austen directly addresses the issue. Pride is found in both Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy. Elizabeth takes pride in herself; she feels as if she is “too good” to let others look down on her. While Darcy is “prideful” in his possessions and his riches. He is “too good” for Elizabeth. In reality, they are perfect for each other but each are to caught up in their own pride to be able to see any good qualities in the other.
