This is a posted link to Joseph Carroll's rivetting installment in one of my favorite collections, The Literary Animal. The article is based around the deconstruction of literature from the Darwinian perspective, and, by page 94, discusses the themeatic elements within Pride and Prejudice that withstand the tests of time due to their accuracy in the description of subtle qualities of human nature. Carroll starts the later part of the article with a brief summary of the book, then elaborates using the rudimentary analysis he discusses at the beginning of the piece.
