In my opinion, pride comes in for the sharper criticism by Jane Austen. She has chosen to personify this characteristic in several characters in "Pride and Prejudice", although it is hard to find one character that portrays prejudice alone, throughout the novel.

…showed last 75 words of 831 total…in for the sharper criticism by Jane Austen. I think this because of her personification of pride such as Lady Catherine and the fact that the prejudice, which does occur in the novel, is occur with pride. Through the incidents spoken on above, prejudice has been shown to be a result of arrogant pride and because it is an underlying emotive in the prejudiced actions of the characters I feel it is more sharply criticized.
