pride and prejudice:where did Elizabeth and Darcy communication break down?What are the elements?

Answer 1

The title of the book is suggestive of the obstacles to their ability to communicate. But Elizabeth's refusal of him (though based, among other things, on incorrect information) breaks through Darcy's pride, and his response causes Elizabeth's prejudice to begin to dissolve. The book as a whole appears to support the argument that a good relationship requires communication. We sense there is little of that between Elizabeth's parents (she is histrionic and complaining and he is detached and ironic) or between her friend Charlotte and Mr. Collins (they talk about a very limited number of topics). Austen's other novels support the view that couples who want to communicate -- based not only on caring for each other but also respect -- seem on the road to happiness together, in Persuasion, Mansfield Park, Sense and Sensibility, Emma, and Northanger Abbey. In Mansfield Park, Fanny and Mr. Crawford never do speak honestly with each other, which is how we know their relationship will not flourish.

Answer 2

This question doesn't make much sense as it stands.

You need to read the text and look carefully at what occurs when Lizzie and Darcy meet.

Whenever they speak to each other at the beginning there are misunderstandings and miscommunications. It's only gradually as they get to know each other that they start communicating properly. To me it would be better to look at when do they communicate properly for the first time and what causes this, and how is it different to how they have previously communicated.

Particularly look at the letter Darcy sends to Lizzie. Please do some thinking for yourself! It's there in the text if you look.
