答案

Pride and Prejudice
Pride and prejudice are displayed in every character pertaining to the novel in some form or another.It is pride of those of a higher economic status which genuinely withholds prominent relationships of those who are of lower economic status.Darcy's pride causes him to look down on those who are in a lower social class,due to his mentality that he supersedes those who are not within his social circle.Given that Elizabeth Bennet is of a lower class than Darcy,this places immediate restrictions to their relationship.Elizabeth also displays significant pride.Though not influenced by economic status,Elizabeth is most proud of her ability of perception:although it is her ill perception which causes her to misjudge Darcy and also Wickham.When Elizabeth hears of Wickham's accusations of Darcy,she trusts the negative perception of him,and mistakenly views Darcy's confidence as conceit.
Prejudice also corresponds with character pride.Prejudiced judgments are woven within society in the novel,especially pertaining to reputation,economic status,and women's inferiority to men.Immediate prejudiced judgments are consistently being developed for all characters; the wealthy are snobbish,the not-so-wealthy are impolite,the eldest daughter will be the first to marry,and unmarried women-over-thirty will never marry.However these judgments are not always negative.If one family member is seen to have good standing with wealthy society,the rest of the family also acquires this image.Unfortunately on the contrary,if one family member demonstrates societal deviance,as Lydia Bennet did with Wickham,the whole family is perceived to hold the same negative reputation.Many prejudiced judgments are due to a character's pride,or their pride causes social prejudice.
Critic A.Walton Litz describes the relation of pride and prejudice for the characters of Elizabeth and Darcy,stating "in Pride and Prejudice one cannot equate Darcy with Pride,and Elizabeth with Prejudice; Darcy's pride of place if founded on social prejudice,while Elizabeth's initial prejudice against him is rooted in pride of her own quick perceptions."
