I think only to a degree. In the end, both characters share in this theme but in different ways. Darcy is proud because of his position in society, and that leads him to scorn anyone outside of his social class at the start. Critic A. Walton Litz commented: "in Pride and Prejudice one cannot equate Darcy with Pride, or Elizabeth with Prejudice; Darcy's pride of place is founded on social prejudice, while Elizabeth's initial prejudice against him is rooted in pride of her own quick perceptions." So Darcy is proud of his position because of social prejudice. Elizabeth at first had prejudice against him because she was proud of her own judgement.

Elisabeth: her prejudice was triggered by Darcy's pride. She decided 10 minutes after meeting him that he was a despicable man, much too abrupt and conceited to be liked by anyone, and lacking even the most basic social skills of the time.Mr. Darcy: his pride comes from the realisation of his value (something rather justifiable), accompanied by the conviction that no-one is a good as him and his fiends - therefore, not worth spending even 5 minutes in their company. He even describes Elisabeth as "tolerable" when speaking of her beauty, a comment which she overhears!
