Hello,
In Jane Austen's popular novel Pride and Prejudice, the lead characters are the embodiments of pride and prejudice. The aristocratic Mr. Darcy is swell with pride while Elizabeth is a symbol of prejudice. As the plot unfolds the effects of pride and prejudice can be traced in the actions and words of Darcy and Elizabeth respectively.

Hello,

In the BA literature book by author Jane Austen ,the traditional view of the book is that  Elizabeth Bennet  stands for the prejudice in the title and that Mr Darcy stands for the pride. This seems to be correct;  Elizabeth  judges Mr Darcy too quickly and with too little information, and Mr Darcy acts as if he were superior to the people in Hertfordshire.
