Mr. Collins assumes that everything Lady Catherine does is intelligent and in good taste because he is prejudiced by her wealth and social position

Darcy shows his integrity and generosity. Elizabeth realizes that her prideful and prejudiced attitude has led her to be totally mistaken about the characters of both men.

she is tolerable but not wealthy enough to tempt him
