In Pride and Prejudice, analyze Elizabeth's and Darcy's development from proud and prejudiced people being devoid of these follies.

Elizabeth begins as a character that is indepedent and
quite proud in her assessments of people.  It is her pride that is injured when she
overhears his first comment at the party, about her not being particularly pleasant or
beautiful, and that wounded pride that keeps her from allowing Darcy to win her heart,
and that pride leads to her cruel rejection of his marriage proposal.  However, a series
of events humbles her pride, and teaches her that she is no better than Darcy, who is in
fact a wonderful person.  The first event is the letter that writes to her explaining
his connections with Wickham and his motivations for discouraging Bingley's attentions
to Jane.  The letter is so sincere, genuine and truthful that Elizabeth is ashamed of
herself.  Next, when her sister Lydia runs away with Wickham, she realizes that Darcy
might have been correct in his assessment of her family--that humbles her.  Lastly, when
she discovers that Darcy helped her family out in that situation, and that his tenants
love and adore him for his kindness, she is completely humbled and realizes that she
cannot be prideful any longer.

Darcy begins the novel with
set prejudices:  he feels that country people are uneducated and unworthy of
companionships; he feels that Elizabeth's family is degrading and embarrassing; he
thinks that his money should earn him a bride.  He holds those prejudices for much of
the novel.  It isn't until he is rejected by the "poor" Elizabeth, and soundly chastised
for being snobby to his sister that he realizes that he might have indeed been a bit
elitist in the situation, and presumptuous about his own knowledge of other people.  Her
lecture strikes his heart and he learns to regret his haughty attitude.  He makes up for
it in helping Elizabeth's family with Lydia, and in being kind to her aunt and uncle
when they visit.  He shows he is truly reformed when he stands up to his regal Aunt
Katherine and marries Elizabeth against her wishes.

Both
characters, through a journey together, learn to be humble and less judgmental.  I hope
that those thoughts helped; good luck!
