> Um, no. In Elizabeth's culture pride is a deadly sin.

Neri:
I think you take things far out of context here. Several characters in
P&P express the opinion that in a person of high status pride is quite
common and understandable, if not to be praised. If I bothered
searching I could probably find several cases where Elizabeth herself
thinks so, even before she falls for Darcy. Memorable lines like "I
could easily forgive his pride if he had not mortified mine" come to
mind. You don't see Harry expressing similar opinions about Snape's
behavior.

Neri:
It is our choices, Pippin, that show what we truly are, far more than
our abilities <g>.
