“In her critical evaluation of Pride and Prejudice, Catherine E. Moore gives an insight to how things have come to the state they are in as the subjective story begins:

She [Elizabeth] is like her father in her scorn of society’s conventional judgments, but she champions the concept of individual merit independent of money and rank. She is, indeed, prejudiced against the prejudices of society. From this premise she attacks Darcy’s pride, assuming that it derives from the causes that Charlotte Lucas identifies: ” . . . with family, fortune, every thing in his favor . . . .he has a right to be proud.”

. . . Significantly, it is Darcy who warns her against prejudicial conclusions, reminding her that her experience is quite limited. . . . it is only when she begins to move into Darcy’s world that she can judge with true discrimination both the individual merit and the dictates of society which she has rejected. Fundamentally honest, she revises her conclusions as new experiences warrant. . “.

I would call this a positive move; she has begun to lose some of her prejudices due to this man’s influence.
