      ab: The main concern of Jane Austen seems to be focused on the individual's relationship with the society as well as the selfrealization of the individual. Her protagonists learn from their mistakes and have the ability to analyze their own actions. For this reason they go through a process of change from self subjectivity to objectivity where they are not only able to see within themselves and know their own weaknesses but are able to understand the stance and limitations of others. This creates in them tolerance and understanding which provides them happiness, peace, and contentment. The blissful reward elevates their character and helps them live a satisfied life. Only those go through a process of self-realization that are ready to adjust with the changing times. Those who become aware of their failings also learn how to overcome them to live a harmonious life. In Pride and Prejudice Darcy and Elizabeth change positively and manage to elevate socially, intellectually and morally. While characters like Wickham/Lydia and Collins/Charlotte remain suffering from self-deception and hence they live a discontented life.
