Quote Chapter 5 Written by Carolyn (5/1/2007 11:02 p.m.)

"That is very true," replied Elizabeth, "and I could easily forgive his pride, if he had not mortified mine."

Pride seems to be one of the main focus of this chapter. Five of the characters mention the word pride or proud.

Mrs. B: everybody says that [Darcy] is eat up with pride

Charlotte: His pride does not offend me so much as pride often does ...he has a right to be proud

Elizabeth: I could easily forgive his pride...

Mary: Pride is a very common failing...Vanity and pride are different things, though the words are often used synonimously. A person may be proud without being vain. Pride relates more to our opinion of ourselves, vanity to what we would have others think of us."

Young Lucas: I should not care how proud I was
