(Austen 92); Once Collins introduces himself into the Bennet household, Jane becomes his "settled choice" (Austen 61), yet, a hint from Mrs. Bennet that Jane may soon be engaged to another man determines Elizabeth equally an alternative. Colonel Fitzwilliam and Elizabeth discuss the financial and social position that allows Darcy the liberty of choice in his business organisation dealings:
"He arranges business organisation just every bit he pleases." "And if non able to delight himself in the system, he has at least great pleasure in the power of choice. I practise non know anybody who seems more than to savor the power of doing what he likes than Mr. Darcy." (Austen 155)

Jane determines the latter, but points out ". . . if he returns no more this wintertime, my option will never exist required. A thousand things may arise in six months!" (Austen 104)
Temptation: Overall Story Problem
The Bennet girls' aunt, Mrs. Gardiner, entreats Elizabeth to guard confronting an zipper to Wickham, to which her niece replies:
". . . how tin I promise to be wiser than and so many of my fellow creatures if I am tempted, or how am I even to know that it would exist wisdom to resist?" (Austen 125); Elizabeth explains to Mr. Darcy the family crisis her youngest sister, Lydia, has put them in:

She has no coin, no connections, nothing that tin tempt him to—she is lost forever. (Austen 230); Mr. Collins is concerned with "how little in that location is to tempt whatsoever 1 to our humble abode" (Austen 181) as he wishes Elizabeth bye; Mr. Bennet embraces marriage with the pretty yet featherbrained Mrs. Bennet, and soon realizes they accept footling in common: "Her begetter, absorbed by youth and dazzler, and that advent of good sense of humor which youth and beauty generally requite, had married a woman whose weak understanding and illiberal mind had very early in their marriage put an end to all real affection for her" (Austen 198); In the conventionalities he will have a male heir, Mr. Bennet indulges in spending money without a care for the hereafter; and and so forth.

"And so, Darcy did everything; made up the lucifer, gave the money, paid the beau's debts, and got him his commission! So much the better. It will save me a world of problem and economy. Had it been your uncle's doing, I must and would take paid him; simply these vehement young lovers bear everything their ain way.

When she was discontented she fancied herself nervous" (Austen vii). Caroline Bingley's emotional assessment of her chances with Mr. Darcy render her quite desperate; Lydia does not stop to consider that her sister may feel left out when she is non included in the invitation to Brighton: "Wholly inattentive to her sister's feelings, Lydia flew about the house in restless ecstasy . . . laughing and talking with more than violence that ever, whilst luckless Kitty continued in the parlour repining at her fate in terms as unreasonable equally her accent was peevish" (Austen 193); Jane and Elizabeth implore their father to receive his errant daughter Lydia and her new husband: "for the sake of their sis'due south feelings and outcome" (Austen 261); and so forth

(Austen 103); Kitty uses her own line of (weak) reasoning as she rails against her exclusion of the Brighton invitation: "I cannot come across why Mrs. Forster should not ask me besides as Lydia . . . though I am non her particular friend. I have simply equally much right to be asked as she has, and more likewise, for I am 2 years older" (Austen 193); Jane and Elizabeth convince their father to receive the Wickhams after the sisters had: "urged him so earnestly, yet so rationally then mildly . . . that he was prevailed on to think as they thought, and act as they wished (Austen 261); and and then forth.

The sudden acquisition of 10 one thousand pounds was the most remarkable charm of the immature lady, to whom he was at present rendering himself agreeable; but Elizabeth . . . did non quarrel with him for his wish of independence. . . .she was gear up to let information technology a wise and desirable mensurate for both, and could very sincerely wish him happy. (Austen 129)

Morality vs.Self-Interest
As 1 result of Elizabeth's personal growth, she considers the conflict between morality and self interest in observing her male parent as a function model for a husband and parent:
Elizabeth . . . had never been blind to the venial of her father's behaviour as a husband. She had always seen it with pain; only respecting his abilities, and grateful for his affectionate treatment of herself, she endeavored to forget what she could not overlook, and to blackball from her thoughts that continual alienation of conjugal obligation and decorum which . . .was so reprehensible. But she had never felt then strongly every bit now the disadvantages which must attend the children of so unsuitable a marriage, nor ever been so fully aware of the evils arising from so sick-judged a direction of talents . . . which rightly used might at least have preserved the respectability of his daughters, fifty-fifty if incapable of enlarging the mind of his wife. (Austen 198)
Temptation: Main Character Problem

(24)
Disbelief: Chief Graphic symbol Symptom
Equally an example of how Elizabeth's attention is focused on atheism, she refuses to accept Miss Bingley's, Mr. Bingley's, and Mr. Darcy'due south unanimous opinion that Wickham is a shady character.
Organized religion: Main Character Response
An example of how Elizabeth'south faith in herself intensifies in reaction to unsolicited and unwelcome opinions is illustrated when she refuses to have Lady Catherine's admonishment to give up Darcy:

This pledge opens Lydia upward to the temptation of running off with the bastard (which she does) and results in Elizabeth's imagined loss of influence over Darcy:
"When I consider . . . that I might have prevented it!—I who knew what he was. Had I but explained some part of information technology only—some part of what I learned to my ain family! Had his graphic symbol been known, this could non accept happened". . . .Darcy made no answer. . .Elizabeth before long observed, and instantly understood it. Her ability was sinking; everything must sink under such a proof of family weakness, such an assurance of the deepest disgrace. (Austen 230)
Learning: Chief Character Benchmark
Every bit Elizabeth experiences more of the exterior world, she is able to gain more cognition of herself: A pregnant learning experience is described in Act three:
"How humiliating is this discovery . . . had I been in beloved, I could not accept been more wretchedly blind. But vanity, non beloved, has been my folly. Pleased with the preference of one, and offended by the neglect of the other, on the very beginning of our acquaintance I have courted prepossession and ignorance, and driven reason away, where either were concerned. Till this moment I never knew myself." (Austen 176)

Influence Grapheme Throughline

Mr. Darcy — Proud and wealthy aristocrat

Psychology: Influence Character Throughline
Mr. Darcy makes an impact on those around him past the way he thinks and what is thought about him. He explains himself to Elizabeth and the others in a conversation at Netherfield Park:
"Only it has been the study of my life to avoid those weaknesses which oft expose a strong understanding to ridicule. . . .vanity is a weakness indeed. But pride-where at that place is a real superiority of listen, pride volition exist always under skilful regulation. . . .I take faults plenty, but they are not, I promise, of understanding. My temper I dare not vouch for. It is . . . a likewise little yielding—certainly too piffling for the convenience of the globe. I cannot forget the follies and vices of others as shortly every bit I ought, nor their offenses against myself. My feelings are not puffed about with every attempt to motility them. My atmosphere would perhaps be called resentful. My good opinion once lost is lost for e'er." (Austen l-51)
Elizabeth remarks on his disagreeable nature to Wickham:
"'He is not at all liked in Hertfordshire. Everybody is disgusted with his pride. You will not find him more favourably spoken of by any one'" (Austen 67).

An example of this is how he treats Wickham afterwards marrying into the Bennet family: "Though Darcy could never receive him at Pemberley, yet, for Elizabeth's sake he assisted him farther in his profession" (Austen 323).; Influence Character Thematic Conflict
Responsibility vs.Commitment
Mr. Darcy is an extremely responsible individual. That he prides himself on this trait is off-putting to those who do non know him well. It is when he evidences his commitment that he garners admiration and respect.
Hinder: Influence Graphic symbol Problem
Based on his assumption that Jane'due south feelings for Mr. Bingley are superficial and insincere, Mr. Darcy obstructs the relationship between the 2 by convincing his friend to quit Netherfield Park; Wickham's reports that Darcy has impeded all his efforts to make something of himself strengthens the already negative impression Hertfordshire has of the proud aristocrat.
Help: Influence Graphic symbol Solution
Mr. Darcy makes apology to Jane and Mr. Bingley by admitting to his friend the part he played in undermining their relationship:
"I made a confession to him, which I believe I ought to accept fabricated long ago. I told him of all that had occurred to make my one-time interference in his affairs cool and impertinent . . . I told him, moreover, that I believed myself mistaken in supposing . . . that your sis was indifferent to him; and as I could easily perceive that his attachment to her was unabated, I felt no dubiety of their happiness together." (Austen 309)
Mr. Darcy assists in the saving of Lydia Bennet's, and therefore the Bennet family's, reputation by ensuring that Wickham marries the girl; and then forth.
Feeling: Influence Character Symptom
The sentiments Mr. Darcy expresses in his matrimony proposal to Elizabeth puts her into a tailspin of emotions.

Relationship Story Throughline

""Pride Goeth Before Fall""

Heed: Relationship Story Throughline
Because of his wealth and social standing, Mr. Darcy is predisposed to disdain Elizabeth and her family; though in his same legal course, they are certainly not also-to-do. His aloof position has created an arrogance that is immediately felt by Elizabeth at their starting time coming together when he refuses to enquire her to dance. Elizabeth is insulted by his snub, and this get-go bad impression provides the impetus for her fixed attitude against him: "'. . . I could hands forgive his pride, if he had not mortified mine'" (Austen 19).
Subconscious: Relationship Story Concern
Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy each present a subconscious claiming to the other to explore their basic drives and desires. As Margaret Drabble comments:
Nosotros have trivial doubt, from their first meeting, that they will finally be brought together, for the convention of trigger-happy antipathy that turns to dear is nearly as stiff every bit the convention of honey at first sight. . . (vii)
Dream: Relationship Story Issue
Mr. Darcy aspires to go Elizabeth's married man, fifty-fifty though she has flatly rejected his wedlock proposal; Elizabeth desires to marry Darcy, but fears he would never ask for her mitt over again after her rejection of him: ". . . never had she and then honestly felt that she could have loved him as at present, when all beloved must be in vain" (Austen 230).
Hope: Relationship Story Counterpoint
Mr. Darcy is confident his desire to marry Elizabeth will be reciprocated:
He concluded with representing to her the strength of that attachment which, in spite of all his endeavors, he had found impossible to conquer; and with expressing his hope that it would now exist rewarded past her credence of his hand. (Austen 162); Relationship Story Thematic Conflict
Dream vs.Hope
Dream is given much more play than hope in the subjective story. Although not of the same social status, Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy move in the same social milieu, creating a reasonable hope that the two might come together. However, their hostile beginning quashes all hope, and a happy relationship for the two is an unlikely event.
Uncontrolled: Relationship Story Trouble
Mr. Darcy's careless response to Mr. Bingley'south suggestion that he inquire Elizabeth to dance is the beginning of his and Elizabeth's volatile human relationship; Darcy is further heedless in what he says in his wedlock proposal to Elizabeth, creating an (nearly) irrevocable alienation between them.
Control: Relationship Story Solution
In one case Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy behave themselves and their relationship with open minds and hearts, they accept each other and embrace their futurity happiness as a married couple.
Feeling: Relationship Story Symptom
Elizabeth'due south feeling run loftier on the subject of Mr. Darcy—she despises him. Darcy, despite himself, is quite attracted to the immature lady. This point is illustrated when Darcy first proposes to Elizabeth:
"My feelings will not be repressed. You lot must allow me to tell you how ardently I admire and dear you." Elizabeth's astonishment was beyond expression. She stared, coloured, doubted, and was silent. This he considered sufficient encouragement, and the avowal of all that he felt and had long felt for her immediately followed. He spoke well, but at that place were feelings besides those of the heart to be detailed, and he was not more eloquent on the field of study of tenderness than of pride. (Austen 160)
Logic: Relationship Story Response
Elizabeth reasons her start impression of Darcy and the infamous stories she hears about him draw a true film of his character; Darcy reasons he should not fall in love with a young lady that is socially beneath him.
Closure: Relationship Story Catalyst
Darcy's letter to Elizabeth answers the accusations she has made against him compelling her to see him in a new calorie-free; Mrs. Gardiner's explanation of how Darcy resolved the scandal of Lydia and Wickham furthers the relationship between Darcy and Elizabeth.
Preconception: Relationship Story Inhibitor
Mr. Darcy's initial airtight minded mental attitude toward marriage to a woman whose status is below his own, impedes the relationship between Elizabeth and himself. When, in spite of himself, Mr. Darcy falls in honey and first proposes to Elizabeth, she makes clear that the prejudices she holds against him halt any happy future relationship they might take:
"From the very beginning, from the first moment, I may virtually say, of my acquaintance with you, your manners impressing me with the fullest conventionalities of your arrogance, your conceit, and your selfish disdain of the feelings of others, were such equally to class that groundwork of disapprobation on which succeeding events have congenital so immovable dislike; and I had not known yous a month before I felt that yous were the last man in the world whom I could e'er be prevailed on to marry." (Austen 164)
Conscious: Relationship Story Benchmark
As fourth dimension passes, the gap betwixt Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy narrows as, in spite of her family, Mr. Darcy contemplates spousal relationship to Elizabeth and she considers new data on Darcy that puts him in a favorable light.
