A comedy of manners, or a novel of manners, pokes fun at society. It is a satirical look at the life the author lives in. Jane Austen uses her novels to show the problems in 18th century English society. For example, Pride and Prejudice brings about the fact that the ladies in families with no sons are basically left destitute when the father dies. That was Mrs. Bennet's worry. She had five girls that needed to be married off or they would have very little money to live on when their father dies.

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.
