Ok, in this post, I'm going to reveal the two most important themes in this book, and I bet you'll never guess...it's pride and prejudice! BAM! I know, blows your mind, right?
But in all seriousness, these themes can both be applied to the two main characters, Elizabeth and Darcy. Elizabeth is prejudice against Darcy because of his wealth and attitude, and Darcy is prejudice against her because of her social standing. Darcy is full of pride about his friends, his family, his money, and Elizabeth is prideful from their first meeting when Darcy wounds it by calling her only "barely tolerable". Both pride and prejudice drive these two away from each other. SPOILER ALERT!!! Since I've seen the movie, I think it is also safe for me to assume that in the end of the book (as well as the movie), they will abandon their follies and embrace each other for who they are.
