The narrative, the author titled “First impressions”, describes the clash between Elizabeth Bennet, the daughter of a country gentleman and Fitzwilliam Darcy a rich an aristocratic landowner.

She reserves the convention of the first impression. “pride” of rank and fortune and “prejudice” against Elizabeth’s inferiority of family hold Darcy aloof, while Elizabeth is equally fired both by the pride of self-respect and by prejudice against Darcy’s fashion. Ultimately, they come together in love and self-understanding.
