Pride and Prejudice

1. I think Elizabeth had the pride and Darcy has the pride.

2. The fact that woman cannot own land and manage a household. That you have to marry in to a family.

3. Like when they are all at the dances and in the kitchen and Elizabeth turns down the offer of marriage.

4. To take the hand of man in marriage and be he husband, its not about love, its about financial and political compatibilities. The woman didn't have as much say in marriage, the really just needed to get married to thrive and live on and not he a burden on their parents.

5. That arranged marriages aren't for the best, and that its all really about true love. An that beingn arranged to marry some one puts on a lot of pressure.
