“My good opinion, once lost, is lost forever.”
Mr. Darcy
The theme of each version of the story is in the title. While Elizabeth’s pride is wounded from her initial interactions with Mr. Darcy, his prejudice does not allow him to see her family as the loving unit they are. His “good opinion” is hard to earn. When he explains who he is with this line, it is also made clear, before the audience knows the full story of Wickham, that Mr. Darcy is very determined and stubborn.
Once he has formed an opinion about someone, it is very difficult for him to change his opinion. If someone has already earned his admiration and then does something to lose it, he is not the kind of person to freely give forgiveness. This is very clear in the situation with Wickham. Mr. Wickham breaks Georgiana’s heart after making so many false promises that Mr. Darcy will never trust the man he once considered a friend.

“One of these days, Lizzy, someone will catch your eye, and then you’ll have to watch your tongue.”
Jane Bennett
While some of the letters in Pride and Prejudice Believe that Elizabeth Bennet has such a caustic sense of humor about the people in society because she is bitter about not being married, this is not the case. Elizabeth turns down proposals because she only wants to marry if she really loves someone. Love matches were not exactly the norm in Jane Austen’s life. It was much more common for a marriage to be more transactional, a way to bond two families and protect interests like land and inheritance.
Jane is often the one amused by Elizabeth’s comments about the people in society around them. Despite this, she sees through what others assume is bitterness. Elizabeth really does not like all the pretending involved in society and dislikes that she is not supposed to be herself in public. Jane’s insinuation here is that one day, Elizabeth may feel the need to curb her views in society once she falls in love.
The beauty of Elizabeth’s relationship with Mr. Darcy is that she doesn’t have to. He loves her even through his misconceptions of her and her biting remarks to him.

“…With so evident a design of insulting me, you chose to tell me you liked me against your better judgement.”
Elizabeth Bennett
When Mr. Barsey tries to tell Elizabeth Benny how he really feels about her, he does so along with a litany of reasons why he shouldn’t feel anything for her. He says unfair things about her and her family, but he doesn’t mean anything bad at all. He simply wants to explain his perception of events, and that he cares for her despite that perception.
Elizabeth, however, is not swayed by his honesty with her. Instead, she only gets angrier at him. She doesn’t understand how he can expect her to be happy about his growing feelings for her while he stands in front of her and insults her to make his point. A variation of this conversation occurs in each version of Pride and PrejudiceBut Keira Knightley’s reaction as Elizabeth is perfect, and her hurt and anger is part of what makes the exchange so memorable.

“What have you done to poor Mr. Darcy?”
Charlotte Lucas
On its own, the line might not be particularly memorable. Fans of Pride and Prejudice, however, know that there is another baffling exchange between Elizabeth Bennet and Mr. Darcy—baffling for Elizabeth, that is, not the audience.
Mr. Darcy comes into a room to talk to Elizabeth, already aware of his growing feelings for her. While they exchange pleasantries and Elizabeth offers him tea, he refuses the tea and effectively bolts from her presence. He leaves the room just as Charlotte enters, and since Elizabeth and Charlotte do not have the same context for his actions as the audienceHe looks like a man haunted by a ghost, or potentially, scared of something Elizabeth said to him.
It makes Charlotte’s line amusing, but it also makes Elizabeth’s admission that she has no idea what she’s done downright hilarious.

“Although she may well perish with the shame of such a mother.”
Elizabeth Bennett
While Elizabeth may find most people she meets objectively horrible, her mother understands the reality of the situation better than Elizabeth. The Bennet family consists of elderly parents and five daughters, two of whom are already older than the age most women are married in the era in which they live. None of the daughters will inherit the family property and there is no modern safety net for them. That’s why Mrs. Bennet tracks down matches at every possible opportunity, including when Jane catches a cold and is, luckily, locked up in a rich house to relax.
While Mrs. Bennet becomes dramatic, discussing the potential for Jane to actually die, Mr. Bennet is certain that Jane will not die of a cold. Elizabeth makes fun of her mother though, noting that Jane could just die of shame at her mother’s antics instead. While Elizabeth has no problem mocking her mother in front of the rest of the family, of course, she doesn’t do it when they are in public or at a social event. Despite her mother’s antics annoying her and embarrassing Jane, Elizabeth clearly still loves her dearly.
