What is the full name of the hero in 'Pride and Prejudice'?

The full name of the hero in Pride and Prejudice is Fitzwilliam Darcy. Jane Austen usually refers to him as Mr. Darcy or Darcy, so his given name is easy to overlook during the novel.

Darcy is one of the story’s two central characters and Elizabeth Bennet’s eventual romantic partner. He is a wealthy Derbyshire landowner and the owner of Pemberley, with an income stated to exceed £10,000 a year. His initial pride, reserve, and apparent contempt for Elizabeth create the novel’s central tension, while his later self-criticism and generosity reveal a more responsible character.

The name Fitzwilliam also connects Darcy to his aristocratic maternal relatives, including his cousin Colonel Fitzwilliam and his aunt Lady Catherine de Bourgh. It should not be confused with the names of other important men: Charles Bingley is Jane Bennet’s suitor, George Wickham is Darcy’s former acquaintance and antagonist, and William Collins is Mr. Bennet’s heir.
