Pride and Prejudice 13


  • "In vain I have struggled. It will not do. My feelings will not be repressed. You must allow me to tell you how ardently I admire and love you." (p. 128-129)
There are many obstacles to overcome in order to accomplish love in Pride and Prejudice. The beauty of Jane Austen's novel is the fact that Mr. Darcy is able to realize that character outweighs connections and love overpowers class separation. Originally, Darcy's excessive pride and prejudice was the barrier between him and Elizabeth. Her family's poor manners and middle class status also contributed to Darcy's initial distaste. Despite all of this, there is a certain magic to love that allowed Darcy's strict views to disappear and neglect what society preached.
