A story begins
with conversation between Mr. Bennet and his wife, Mrs Bennet, who primarily
focuses on marrying off her five
single daughters to wealthy men, because the Bennet family don’t have
son and as a result, after Mr. Bennet’s death, their property will pass to his
distant relative. Mrs. Bennet is inspired by the news of arriving of their new neighbor
, Charles Bingley, who is “good catch”. Mr. Bingley settles at nearby
Netherfield Park with his
two sisters, his brother-in-law, and a friend named Darcy. The Bennet
daughters finally get opportunity to get acquaintance with him when the ball is
held in the neighborhood. Jane, the oldest and the prettiest of five, dances
twice with Bingley, who makes good impression of everyone as opposed to his
friend Mr. Darcy who seems to be cold and arrogant because of his behavior and
rude comment on Elizabeth Bennet’s appearance. Sometime later, while visiting
Mr. Bingley’s two sisters, Jane falls ill and stays in their house for several
days. Elizabeth decides to visit Jane there and also stays there until Jane’s
recovery. During this time, Jane and Mr. Bingley become closer and closer while
the relationships between Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy is getting worse and worse. (as
she believes, but in fact, he becomes more and more interested in her). Elizabeth
has an aversion for Mr. Bingley’s
sisters who are too proud and threats her as the dull-witted villager. She also finds out that Mr. Bingley’s sisters
falls in love with Mr. Darcy. Meanwhile, the Bennet family prepares for Mr. William
Collin’s visit, their distant relative who will inherit Mr. Bennet’s property.
He is fat clergyman, about 25 who intends to marry one of the Bennet sisters.
Mrs Bennet, getting wise about his intention, agrees, seeing it as the way to
provide worthy future for herself . Meanwhile, on the way to their aunt Mrs
Phillips, the Bennet sisters get acquaintance with Mr. Wickham, who has just joined the
militia. At the Phillips’s dinner party, Mr. Wickham reveals
Elizabeth and claims that he has
been seriously mistreated by Mr Darcy.
