"I say they are both Pride and Prejudice - although Mr. Darcy is more Pride well Elizabeth is more Prejudice."
I always got that feeling as well. Lizzie was proud of her ability to judge people, but was influenced by her prejudice and thus failed to think of the reasons Darcy had for his actions (looking out for his friend and sister, etc). Darcy, meanwhile, was proud of his station and prejudiced about Lizzie's lower class and thus looked down his nose at her and almost missed her own good qualities.
Is the modern one "Bride and Prejudice"? Because that one was kind of awesome. Plus it had singing! :D
