Mary Bennet's distinction between pride and vanity

pride vs. vanity

Mary Bennet's bookish set-piece in Chapter 5 — 'vanity and pride are different things' — glosses the novel's title terms directly, distinguishing pride (what we think of ourselves) from vanity (what we wish others to think of us).
