Further Explanation

Pride and Prejudice are penned by the great novelist Jane Austen, who is one of the greatest feminist novelists of the modern age. Her protagonists are not limited by the constraints of their gender, but they rise above societal challenges and carve their own future. This was a nod to the reawakening of women’s rights and positions within Modern European society, which was largely in the throes of a patriarchal structure. Darcy is introduced to us as a vain character, who disdained Elizabeth Bennet’s relations and is extremely conscious of his wealthy parentage. However, at the end of the novel, Elizabeth’s strength of character and her personality makes him fall in love with her. Darcy helps to return Elizabeth’s runaway sister by providing for her dowry and marriage ceremony with Mr. Wickham, and he did it purely out of his love for her and to maintain the respect of his love’s family in the society.


Pride and Prejudice recount the lives of a family called the Bennetts, who belong to the ‘middle-class English society’. Mrs. Bennett wants nothing more than to find suitable grooms for her daughters, so that they may be placed in highly placed families in England. Through the lives of the Bennetts, we get a glimpse of how the honor of a family was attached to marital relations, and women were subsumed within their family, placed under paternal control. Family fortunes and the popularity of relations were very important when it came to contracting marriage relations, however, in this novel, Elizabeth defies Darcy’s pride and refuses to acknowledge his proposal, despite his worth. Darcy is ultimately a transformed man, as he understands the power of love and the importance of respect, that Elizabeth prized highly.
