In class-conscious England near
the close of the 18th
century, the five Bennet sisters Elizabeth, or Lizzie,
Jane, Lydia, Mary, and Kitty have been raised well
aware of their mother’s fixation on finding
them husbands and securing set futures. The spirited
and intelligent Elizabeth, however, strives to live
her life with a broader perspective, as encouraged
by her doting father.
When wealthy bachelor Mr. Bingley takes up residence
in a nearby mansion, the Bennets are abuzz. Amongst
the man’s sophisticated circle of London friends
and the influx of young militia officers, surely
there will be no shortage of suitors for the Bennet
sisters. Eldest daughter Jane, serene and beautiful,
seems poised to win Mr. Bingley’s heart. For
her part, Lizzie meets with the handsome and it
would seem snobbish Mr. Darcy, and the battle of
the sexes is joined.
Their encounters are frequent and spirited yet far
from encouraging. Lizzie finds herself even less
inclined to accept a marriage proposal from a distant
cousin, Mr. Collins, and supported by her father
stuns her mother and Mr. Collins by declining. When
the heretofore good natured Mr. Bingley abruptly
departs for London, devastating Jane, Lizzie holds
Mr. Darcy culpable for contributing to the heartbreak.
But a crisis involving youngest sister Lydia soon
opens Lizzie’s eyes to the true nature of
her relationship with Mr. Darcy. |
