Pride can be a good or bad thing. For example, having pride in yourself can help with confidence and self-esteem. On the other hand, having too much pride can lead to ignorance and irrational decisions. Think of some examples from literature to represent this two-sided trait. There are plenty of characters in novels who had just the right amount of bravery and assurance, and the same goes for self-obsessed antagonists, as well.

The verb here is "had given"; this is past perfect: it's a perfect tense, because it has a past participle with the -ed ending ("given") and it's the past perfect because the auxiliary verb is the past form of "have": had.
