All of the characters of this book have been raised in a society of inner rings.
Both Mr. Darcy and Mr. Bingley were interested in women who were “below their society”. It is interesting that Mr. Bingley was less affected than Mr. Darcy. Mr. Darcy had more struggles with the hierarchies of his society than Mr. Bingley. Yet Mr. Darcy is usually listed as the ideal man (see The Awakening of Miss Prim), not Mr. Bingley. What makes Mr. Darcy the more desirable of the men in Pride and Prejudice? Is it because of his choices at the end, where he helps in a crisis, or that he moves from a system of hierarchy to a circle of influence? We see through the novel that he has influence over others based on his position of birth, along with his friendship with Mr. Bingley. At the end of the novel, he was able to influence others around him with clarity and energy in a way that helped remedy the Bennetts’ problems. Or is it some other reason that Mr. Darcy captures more hearts than Mr. Bingley?
