While reading this story, many readers' eyes are drawn to Darcy's pride and arrogance, as the title suggests. Gradually, they might also be impressed by Darcy's change and his finally happy life with Elizabeth. However, we cannot say that Darcy's pride falls on him without reason.3.1. Proud and Arrogant As a "single man of good fortune", Darcy has a calm face and proud manner. At the ball at Meryton, Darcy, unlike the sociable Bingley, was an unpleasant man throughout the party. He didn't dance much. “He only danced once with Mrs. Hurst and once with Miss Bingley.” (Pride and Prejudice, 2014: P12) The rest of the time, he would just wander around the room and sometimes talk to a member of his own group. Although he dances very well, so he decides to break the concept of unmatched social status and tries to confess his love. But because of his pride, and misunderstood by Elizabeth, he fails for the first time. But the misunderstanding ends up dissipating. Just like Shakespeare's phrase, All's well that ends well.3.2. Reasons for Darcy's prideFirst of all, it is his noble family origin. It is easily seen that Darcy was born into an extraordinary noble family, owners of the famous family estate of Pemberley in Derbyshire. At the beginning of the 19th century in England, the aristocracy belonged to the upper class and enjoyed a fairly high social status. It is impossible for him to allow anyone to ruin his family's reputation. During this time, he was unconsciously accustomed to thinking and acting with pride and dignity. Then Darcy was a spoiled brat. Although his mother died when he was a child, the love of his father and his aunt Lady Catherine did not diminish. In his life, he also received the respect of his sister Georgianna and the trust of his friend Bingley. All of this provided Darcy with a comfortable environment to improve. His courage and independence are influenced by his nobility and wealth. Darcy is mentioned many times, but he only chooses a fairly ordinary girl to be his life partner. Nonetheless, Darcy's fame, status, and wealth are envied. He is boring when he talks about emotion and feeling. At the Nevetherfield ball, when Elizabeth mentioned his "rare character", instead of explaining his feelings, "he did not answer, and they remained silent until they had finished the dance..." ( Pride and Prejudice, 2014: P118) When the subject turns to Wickham, "Darcy did not respond and seems keen to change the subject" (Pride and Prejudice, 2014: P119) rather than confess the whole story and to expose Wickham's immorality. Keeping quiet is all he can do to avoid causing more misunderstandings. Unlike Darcy, Elizabeth was born into an ordinary family. She has four sisters, like many poor people. Her father, Mr. Bennet, is a bookish man, and Elizabeth shares this man's quick and sometimes sarcastic wit. Elizabeth is said to be intelligent, cheerful, lively and attractive, although she is not rich enough. In addition, she tends to judge a man on first impressions. This is the source of the novel
