It is described that way in the beginging, however, since she was to quick to judge, and he was a haughty manner. However it can be interpretted other ways....

I agree, it could go both ways. But I like this interpretation better.

They both represent both, I think...

no duh... :P

I think so, cause if Darcy was too proud he wouldn't have proposed twice. And Lizzy, if she wasn't too proud would have accepted his proposial at the 1st time.

Well, i think Darcy was proud, and Lizzie too.

They both represent both.

I think Darcy is both prejudiced and proud while Lizzie is only proud.
So I think Darcy represents the prejudice because at first he tried to resist his love for Lizzie because he was rich and she was poor.
And Lizzie represents the proud because when Darcy proposed he told her that he wanted to marry her against his better judgement and those words ofended Lizzie very much and also she knew that Darcy was the responsable for the separation of Jane and Bingley,so for these reasons she would never accept him, because she was proud...

(Anyway I think even if this reasons didn't exist Lizzie wouldn't marry with Darcy because by that time she wasn't in love by him yet and she herself said that only true love would persuade her in matrimony)

both ways!

It's true, they both represent both, but in a choose like this, everybody should vote for Darcy/Lizzy, because mostly Darcy is too proud and mostly Lizzy is prejudice.

I know, it could go either way for me personally...I originally got the interpretation of Darcy being prideful in the book, but an HBO special said that Lizzy was more prideful. To each his own I guess

You can paraphrase it in both ways, but I would take this one.

I think either way it's correct...There's the charm in it, isn't it?

they both represent pride and predjudice- thats the point!!!!

pride and prejudice isn't pride and prejudice if it isn't for mr. darcy!!!!

I think Elizabeth is more proud than Darcy, and he represents Prejudice.

I believe that Mr.Darcy represents pride (because of the way he may have acted at the beginning of the movie/book) and I believe that Elizabeth is prejudice (because of the fact that she judged Mr.Darcy before knowing who he really was).

After thinking about it, I became more sure...

Lizzy wasn't prejudiced, she didn't like Darcy that much because he wounded her vanity.
And Darcy was prejudiced. He was rich and he saw the Bennets. Especially Mrs.Bennet and Lydia with Kitty, and it was a reason why he made Charles go away and not marry Jame.
But of course he was pride too. No doubt. It's only that Lizzy wasn't that prejudiced. IMO!

I don't think there's a wrong answer - I think it depends on how you interpret certain situations.
Lizzie was prejudiced in the sense that she judged Darcy before she had all of the facts - with regards to Wickham etc
Darcy was prejudiced in his opinion on the Bennet family as a whole.
They were both proud - Lizzie possibly more so.

I think it's both ways.... this is what I like about fanpicks and quizzes, sometimes, u can be debate about it.

tottally agree with ppv : "Lizzy wasn't prejudiced, she didn't like Darcy that much because he wounded her vanity.
And Darcy was prejudiced. He was rich and he saw the Bennets. Especially Mrs.Bennet and Lydia with Kitty, and it was a reason why he made Charles go away and not marry Jame.
But of course he was pride too. No doubt. It's only that Lizzy wasn't that prejudiced."

I think they Both of them showed both pride and prejudice, I think that when Jane wrote this story it wasn't about one of them with Pride and one with prejudice it was the mixture in both of the people.But I had to pick one so.....anyway they end up happy... I like that ending
I sorta agree with Kandrakar. To each his own opinion

I feel like both of them showed pride, and both of them showed prejudice. I agree with lizzydarcy. I agree with how she says she doesn't think Jane Austen was writing it as showing one with pride, and one representing prejudice, but it was a mixture.

When I watched the movie and read the first part of the book I was sure it was the other way around but in the second part of the book, to me it suddenly seemed like this

Having recently re-read it, I was thinking this myself. I always used to think of Elizabeth as the proud one and Darcy as the prejudiced one, but now - and while I also agree with those who have said that both characters have both pride and prejudice in them - I'm actually edging more towards this one!

Specifically, I think that this is what each character finds they have to overcome in the story. Darcy comes across as extremely proud at the beginning, but changes later (a point has already been made about how a proud person wouldn't propose a second time, but I personally think that's an example of how his character develops). And Elizabeth makes some harsh assumptions about Darcy quite early on, but she doesn't stand by those opinions later.

So I think that's why I see them as this way around now. Not so much based on who, overall, has the most pride or the most prejudice, but which character overcomes which flaw.
