One passage that I find insightful is when Ms. Caroline Bingley sends a letter to Jane implying to her that Mr. Charles Bingley is going to move to London and plan to stay there. The letter appears to be long but Ms. Bingley states (in my own words) that they, Ms. Bingley and Mr. Bingley, would be moving to London and won't be going back to Netherfield (ch. 21; para. 8, 10, 11, 15). This is insightful, because it shows how selfish Ms. Bingley really is, although the characters might not see it yet. She calls Jane her friend (ch. 21; para. 8), but then says that Mr. Bingley would be getting to know Ms. Georgiana Darcy (ch. 21). This also shows that Ms. Bingley is sneaky and obsessed with status; and that Mr. Bingley is kind of an air head.
The other passage that I find insightful is when Mr. William Collins proposes to Elizabeth. "...and you may assure yourself that no ungenerous reproach shall ever pass my lips when we are married" (said by Mr. Collins). Elizabeth responded back by saying, "You forget that I have made no answer...I am very sensible of the honour of your proposals, but it is impossible for me to do otherwise than to decline them" (ch. 19; para. 9, 11). Mr. Collins proceeds to constantly asks het to marry him but she continues to decline (ch. 19; para. 12-21). This is insightful, because it shows just how high Mr. Collins confidence level is. He also seems a little cocky. He can't be all that since Elizabeth doesn't want him at all.
