Jane Austen's Pride and PrejudiceIn Pride and Prejudice, three main marriages are focused on. The marriage of Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy, Lydia and Mr. Whickam, and Jane and Mr. Bingley. The marriage of Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy is very different from the marriage of Jane and Mr. Bingley. The reason the marriages are so different is because they both got married for different reasons. Elizabeth is the second daughter of the Bennet family, she is very intelligent and witty. Elizabeth has very good qualities: she is adorable, intelligent and can hold conversations. These traits would make it seem like she lives in an upper class society, but she lives in the middle class of society. Mr. Darcy, whom she marries, is the son of a wealthy family and the master of the large Pemberly estate. He is intelligent and witty too, but he tends to judge too hastily and harshly. Due to Darcy's wealth since birth, he looks down on people from social classes lower than him. It's easy to see that Elizabeth and Darcy have a lot in common, which is necessary in a relationship that will work. Jane Austen first titled the book First Impressions, this title is relevant to their marriage because Darcy's first impression against Elizabeth was to despise her because she was not as rich as him. The title comes into play again when Darcy proposes to Elizabeth for the first time, Elizabeth said no because of the first impression she had on Darcy when he was prejudiced against her. "Elizabeth was far too embarrassed to say a word. After a short pause, her companion added: "You are too generous to play with me. If your feelings are still as they were last April, tell me immediately. My affections and wishes are unchanged, but one word from you will silence me on this subject forever. » Elizabeth, feeling all the more uncomfortable and anxious as her situation was usual, now forced herself to speak; and immediately, although not very fluently, said to make him understand that his feelings had undergone such an important change, since the period to which he alluded, that he made him receive with gratitude and pleasure his present assurances.305 "This quotation was important because this was the second time Darcy proposed to Elizabeth and this is when the reader discovers that Elizabeth marries Darcy for love and not because of money or property..
