#1. PRIDE GOES BEFORE A FALL

Pride :. To be especially proud of something that you do well , or a good quality that you have …

How pride is considered as a fall ?

The most commonly used definition of pride is being proud or having a feeling of great accomplishment and feeling self satisfaction.

This usage of the word pride gives a negative cynical connotation, describing people as vain, arrogant or belittling others

It is said that by pride even the angels fall .

Examples through novel:

In the novel FAR FROM THE MADDING CROWD BY THOMAS HARDY explains a character as an example of pride . The character is BATHSHEBA EVERDENE.

She is independent and determined woman but was very self esteemed and was vain about her appearance. Though Gabriel oak , the hero of the novel proposed her , she rejected him just because he didn’t praise her beauty and simply have her marriage proposal.

But when TROY proposed her she accepted it because TROY praised her beauty .

And so she lost her independence due to her sense of pride . Her pride suffered a number of setbacks over the course of novel . This proves that she lost her sense of pride which is linked to vanity.

At the end of the plot BATHSHEBA married the hero GABRIEL OAK and also she lost her independence, her smile because of her pride over her beauty.
