    "First Impressions‚" but later changed it to "Pride and Prejudice." Nonetheless‚ the title still goes off that premise. Both Darcy and Elizabeth are "pride" and "prejudice‚" because their entire relationship throughout the novel is marked by their "pride" and "prejudice." Now that I think about it‚ that may have been why she decided to change the title. It’s not just their first impressions of each other‚ but instead‚ about the "pride" and "prejudice" they constantly have and must get over in order

    One of the central themes in Jane Austen’s nineteenth-century novel Pride and Prejudice is the roles of passion and reasoning in justifying a successful marriage. The characters’ differing viewpoints on passion and reason in marriage reflect the contrasts between society’s views on marriage and Austen’s. Society in general sees marriage as an act that should be justified by logic rather than affection. Austen‚ however‚ sees passion as integral to the health of a relationship as well. The five marriages
