"It is a truth universally
acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want
of a wife" (Austen 1).
Elizabeth Bennett is the second born
daughter in a family of five daughters. In a time where only the eldest male of
the family may inherit, her only hope is to marry a man of wealth. However, she
will not marry for less than a man of intelligence and love, much to her mother's
disapproval.
Enter Mr. Darcy, a rich young man
with a stern and solitary disposition of great prejudice. He would separate his
best friend Mr. Bingley from Jane Bennett, Elizabeth's sister, as well as
propose marriage to Elizabeth in spite of her inferior birth. Things do not
bode well for him in love, unless Elizabeth can somehow swallow her pride and
he his prejudice.
"It was necessary to laugh when
she would rather have cried...most cruelly mortified...by...Mr. Darcy's
indifference...perhaps, instead of his seeing too little, she might have
fancied too much" (338).
