While Elizabeth was pleased seeing the interaction between her older sister and Mr. Bingley, she did not realize that she had been admired by Mr. Darcy. Although Mr. Darcy refused to dance with Elizabeth, he later found how much she attracted him. However, he decided to hide his admiration. And the girls' cousin, Mr. Collins, who was the most loyal follower of Lady Catherine de Bourgh, had visited them. The ignorant man who would inherit the house after Mr. Bingley died was coming to chose from one of his cousins as his wife, because it is the best idea he could think of as compensation to the family. Someday after Mr. Collin had chosen Elizabeth as target, he walked with the girls to Meryton. There they made a new friend, Mr. Wickham, who seemed to have some secrets between Mr. Darcy and who was soon became close with Elizabeth.

As the story goes, we can see how much the stereo type affect people's thinking. The first impression of proud with Mr. Darcy leaves him no chance to get closer with Elizabeth. And the prejudice on Mr. Darcy makes Elizabeth easily believe in a totally stranger, Mr. Wickham, when he speaks ill about Mr. Darcy. The story so far reminds me how we usually judge a person [ we] just meet. Firstly we look his appearance, and than the manner. No matter how we all understand that the inside is much more important than the outside, the first impression is ironically the main reason for us to decide to know the person deeper or not.
