Best Answer

Mr. Darcy was not introduced in the first chapter of Pride and Prejudice because the novel follows the perspective of Elizabeth Bennet, and Darcy's character is gradually revealed to add intrigue and mystery to the story. His absence initially allows for the exploration of other characters and establishes the initial conflict between him and Elizabeth.

The first couple chapters focus on Elizabeth and her family and they had not met or even heard of Mr. Darcy yet.

What page was mr. darcy's proposal in Pride and Prejudice?

In my volume of Pride and Prejudice, Darcy's first, unsuccessful, proposal begins on page 145, of the 298 pages in the novel. It will be different in different editions, but clearly this is only slightly less than half way through. It takes up almost the whole of chapter XI of volume II. Another edition I have has it on page 113 of 236, and the chapter is listed as chapter 34.

Can one equate Darcy with pride and Elizabeth with prejudice?

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.
