Pride and Prejudice
Regency courtship novel
Pride and Prejudice is Jane Austen's 1813 novel about Elizabeth Bennet and Mr.
Darcy, whose initial mutual disdain gives way to love.
The title names the obstacles they must overcome—his aristocratic pride, her prejudiced first impressions.
The phrase now evokes romantic narratives where antagonism conceals attraction: Their bickering had real Pride and Prejudice energy.
