Pride and Prejudice · 1813
Vanity and pride are different things, though the words are often used synonymously. A person may be proud without being vain. Pride relates more to our opinion of ourselves, vanity to what we would have others think of us.
Behind the line
What it means
Our interpretation.
Austen separates two things people often mix up. Pride is what you think of yourself, while vanity is about the image you want others to see. You can have the first without the second, and a mirror shows that difference nicely.
