Abstract

This research paper examines the interactions between Elizabeth and Darcy in Austen's novel Pride and Prejudice (1813) through the lens of the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI). Using a qualitative descriptive approach, this research paper reveals that Darcy exhibits characteristics of an INTJ (Mastermind) type, while Elizabeth embodies those of an INFJ (Guider) type. This study demonstrates that the conflicts/discomforts in the relationship between Mr. Darcy and Elizabeth stem from their inherent personality types and natural tendencies.
