Jain Austen represented this theme clearly through the Bennet family .Mrs.Bennet the mother did not care about her daughters education or in other words she did not raised them according to the chartera of the accomplish women of the 18th century the only ting that she care about is to match her daughters with rich gentlemen and from Mrs. Bennet point a view that is the most important achievement because women from the 18th century did not have the right to work, inherit, or go to school so that makes women feel unsecure and in a need for a husband to survive in life.
On the other hand Mr.Bennt the father does not care as the mother to match his daughters with rich gentleman and as we see in the novel that Mr. Bennet did not do his duty as a father as we see in the events that he ignored Elizabeth advice to not send Lydia to Brighton and the result of that is the scandal of Lydia elopement with Wickham.

6. Themes:
Theme of class
love &marriage

reality
The theme : of class or society is related to reputation in that both reflect the strictly regimented nature of life fore the middle and upper class in Regency England.
For Example : the lines are strictly drawn while Bennet’s ,who are middle class may socialize with the upper class Bingley’s and Darcy’s .
The y are clearly their social inferior and are treated as such .
Anther Example : Jane Austen satirizes this kind of class particularly in the character of Collins. Who spends must of his time toadying to his upper class, lady Debowrgh ,Mr.Collins offers an example , he is not the only one we have other than he as Mr. Darcy , Miss.Bingley who dis likes any one not as socially.

Pride and prejudice:
Is one of the major themes both stand in the way of relationships, as embodied in the persons of Darcy and Elizabeth respectively. These are the clear themes
That Austen chooses to place as the title of her novel.
Pride narrows the vision of a person and causes one
To underestimate others. Prejudice blinds the vision
And leads to false perceptions about others. Darcy's pride and Elizabeth's come in the way of under-standing each other and keep them apart. Only when
Darcy becomes more humble and Elizabeth becomes
More accepting then they can relate to one another and find happiness together. At last the novel teaches
Us that the ordinary human prejudice in favor of a handsome appearance and charming manner is not
To be trusted.

." In the end Elizabeth realizes her folly in trusting her first impressions and prejudices about the men, and states, "how despicably have I acted... I, who have prided myself on my discernment! - I, who have valued myself on my abilities..." The above are only a few of the major examples of first impressions, prejudice and pride in the novel, as these themes show up throughout the story. Characters besides Darcy are also accused of having too much pride, such as Bingley's sisters, Miss Darcy, Lady Catherine and others. There are also discussions about pride between Elizabeth and Darcy, and Mary discusses pride vs. vanity. Characters are also described as being proud on certain occasions. For example, Mrs. Bennet is described as visiting her married daughters with pride, and Elizabeth is said to be proud of Darcy because of what he had done for Lydia. First impressions can be discussed of many of the other characters than those discussed here, and prejudice is illustrated not only in Elizabeth's behavior, but in Darcy's and Lady Catherine's reactions to the status of Elizabeth's family as well.

WOMEN'S RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR OWN ACTIONS
Regardless of a woman's ultimate decision to marry or to remain single, Austen did not present an innocent heroine imprisoned in a marriage for which she was not responsible. Although their options were limited and unpromising, Austen's women were not forced to marry. In Pride and Prejudice, Charlotte Lucas chose to marry Mr. Collins "with her eyes open" (Austen 244). Furthermore, although all of them ultimately chose to marry, Austen's heroines made the reader believe that they might not have married, like Austen herself, and "yet lived, withing the narrow limits of their confining society, purposeful and interesting lives"
FREEDOM
Due to the confinements society placed on women, Austen's heroines looked to different activities not only for enjoyment but also for freedom. "They were not always useful, but they were usually busy. They knew how to find pleasure in passing the time in what seemed to them useful activities, needlework, sketching, music, visiting," and sometimes used those activities to gain freedom from the strictures of society (Calder 56). .
