Jane Austen has depicted pride in her characters that are less important as a means of demonstrating its importance as a theme of this novel. Lady Catherine is one of the main offenders, her affectation, arrogance and pride are fuelled by other characters like Mr. Collins who put there to irony those proud people and their followers. Mr. Darcy, who is another important character in this book, he is an extremely important character in this novel, a major character, and I think that the fact that he was perceived to have been rude? From the beginning of the novel his character, has changed throughout the novel along with Elizabeth points to Jane Austen criticism of pride and snobbery (insinuating that once pride is done away with and along with it, prejudice) a character becomes

An example of this is the beginning of the novel, the ball, when Mr. Darcy insult Elizabeth Bennet in an act of prejudice. He refuses to dance with her on account of her not being "handsome enough to tempt me". He had being described as "the proudest, most disagreeable man in the world" through out the chapters, because he would not socialize his refusal to dance with Elizabeth Bennet. This consistent with the rest of his snobbery and it is logical that he is being rude to Elizabeth Bennet, by reason of that he is excessively proud and does not feel that her pretty is worth of his. He danced only once with Mrs. Hurst and once with Miss Bingley, declined being introduced to any other lady, and spent the rest of the evening walking about the room, speaking occasionally to one of his own party.

Throughout this novel we are shown the arrogant and proud dispositions of the upper class of this society. There are also some the exceptions to the rule, namely Mr. Bingley and Miss Darcy. These people are exceedingly proud of their great fortunes and estates and as a result of the emphasis at that time on monetary issues, they are prejudiced and commit acts of prejudice towards their financial, and social, "inferiors".
