Pride and Prejudice, written by Jane Austen is a social novel that deals with the family issues and it revolves around the life of a woman. The novel echoes the early voices for feminist writing and Austen delivers different personalities of woman in everyday lives. Elizabeth Bennet is a woman of practical acumen and sensibility who criticizes and analyses situation through observations. The novel centres around the life of Bennet’s family and the marriage between Elizabeth and Darcy as well as Jane and Charles Bingley. Marriage and miscommunication as well as pride and prejudice itself centres around the novel.
The development of relationship between Mr. Darcy and Elizabeth Bennet opens up with the two meeting each other at the ball. Mr. Darcy is a victim of miscommunication and he is misunderstood by a lot of people. The title Pride and Prejudice revolves centres around their relationship when the pride of Mr. Darcy’s refusal to dance with Elizabeth, the prejudice is instituted when he is seen as an arrogant man.
Their relationship enfolds gradually where Elizabeth continues to refuse and communicate with Mr. Darcy. As Mr. Darcy gives a bad impression at the first meeting , Elizabeth fails to recognise who he is a person. Elizabeth , though a woman of practical sensibility is naive when it comes to assess the personality of Mr. Darcy. She eagerly believes the lie of a military officer Wickham who tells her that Mr. Darcy Cheated him out of an inheritance. This made Elizabeth to have an acrimony towards Mr. Darcy. One can see the pride of Mr. Darcy instantly falls down to prejudice in the eyes of Elizabeth as she believes the lie of Wickham.
Moreover , Mr. Darcy who genuinely loves Elizabeth constantly visits her when she stays with Charlotte in Catherine de Bourgh house. Mr. Darcy encounters Elizabeth and he visits the house to see Elizabeth. When Darcy gives a marriage proposal to Elizabeth , she instantly turns it down that reflects the binary of pride and prejudice in their relationship. Elizabeth then tells him how she feels about him being arrogant and how he manipulates Mr. Bingley away from Jane as well as made Wickham to disinherit the fortune. This becomes the climax in the novel and the impossibility of marriage between Darcy and Elizabeth while instituting the prejudice against Darcy.
In addition to this , the novel takes a turn with their relationship as it progresses. When Mr. Darcy writes an epistle to Elizabeth explaining to her about the misinformation she had received , it institutes a return of pride in the character of Darcy. Darcy states in the epistle that he tells Bingley to distant himself from Jane as he thinks that their romance seems unserious. He also informs her about Wickham who is a liar and he attempted to elope with his sister Georgiana Darcy that caused a bone of contention between them. This made Elizabeth to recalibrate Darcy’s character and personality. She visits Pemberley along with the Gardiners and she sees the pride of Darcy being complimented by his servants. When Darcy arrives , he entertains the Gardiners without making a move towards Elizabeth.
Furthermore , the novel shows Darcy’s kindness towards Elizabeth and her family when Elizabeth learns that it is Darcy who saves the salvation of his family from the elopement between Lydia and Wickham. Soon after , the marriage proposal between Jane and Bingley is announced but Elizabeth accepts the proposal of Darcy only after they go out for a walk tenderly and they are happily married.
