Pride and Prejudice

Throughout the text, many of the characters exhibit pride and prejudice. How do Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy exhibit these characteristics? How do Mr. Collins and Lady Catherine de Bourgh exhibit them? What examples of pride and prejudice does Mrs. Bennet exhibit? How do these characteristics evolve throughout the text?

Teaching Suggestion: Students may find a response to an entire novel daunting. You may wish to have them create a graphic organizer for each of the characters, listing examples of pride and prejudice throughout the novel. After listing examples for each character, they can use a four-square to organize their thoughts before writing.
