Elizabeth thought Mr. Darcy vain and prideful, however, it turned out that she was prejudiced about him (without really knowing him), therefore "Pride and Prejudice."

Ya that's prety much right except i think that prejudice also comes through when Elizabeth and her sister are looked upon with scorn by those richer such as Lady Catherine.

This is what I said is my essay about pride and prejudice:

"Pride and prejudice is shown by the characters Elizabeth and Mr Darcy. Elizabeth is prejudice towards Darcy because when he refuses to dance with anyone (at the ball) she thinks he believes he is too good for all the women there. She hears rumours that Darcy is an unsociable and rude man and she chooses to believe then. He is prejudiced towards Elizabeth because he believes that she is like her family; her scheming and gossiping mother and her flirtatious and irreverent younger sisters; Kitty and Lydia. He does not believe that she could be a woman who has strong beliefs and presents herself as a respectable woman he wrongly believes that she is like the rest of her family particularly her mother and sisters."

  • this top part is mostly right but sort of wrong as well. the question was why did Jane austen call it pride and prejudice and the answer is that actually she didnt. her choice and the original name was infact 'first impressions' however it was later changed. sorry i don't know why but the above is why is was changed to the title now.
