Pride and Prejudice

I am still on Pride and Prejudice, but now I'm half way through the book (read from pg 97~152). Don't think I'm a slow read, it's the book that's long and hard :P. 

Just now I am at the part when Mr. Darcy confesses his feelings to Elizabeth but she totally rejects him. Elizabeth does this because the manner that Mr. Darcy talked was so prideful and rude. He said he loved "against his will, status, etc." Elizabeth was furoius at this. They had a huge arguement where in the end both of them are too prideful to lose this dispute. Darcy leaves coldly and Elizabeth is crying and thinking of what just happened.

I think this part depicts the title, PRIDE and Prejudice. Because of both their prides, they misunderstand each other and end up just hurting each other. Darcy, because of his pride, spoke his true feelings in a rude way that made him seem superior. And Elizabeth, because of her pride, did not take the hand of Mr. Darcy. She was too angry at everythig he had done. Pride is something we all must let go of. It will block us from opening up to people and it's just like wearing a mask. Because of pride, people will argue until one person puts down their pride and reconciliates. Pride is a mask for cowards, and only the brave and nobel ones will destroy their pride.
