Austen’s most famous novel, the delightfully witty courtship of Elizabeth Bennet and Fitzwilliam Darcy is brimming with character, playfulness, and irony. Impeccably crafted in flawless prose, Pride and Prejudice remains one of the jewels in the crown of English literature. It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife. For Mrs. Bennet, a mother to five daughters, little else is of consequence than the prospect of a successful and advantageous marriage for each of them. Her daughter Elizabeth, independent and spirited, has other ideas. When the wealthy and eligible bachelor Mr. Bingley moves into the neighborhood he seems everything one could want in a husband; engaging friendly and obliging he forms a quick attachment with Elizabeth’s beloved sister Jane. His friend and companion Fitzwilliam Darcy makes a less favorable first impression on Elizabeth, she thinks him arrogant and conceited whilst he seems indifferent to her quick wit and lively mind. When she later discovers that Darcy has involved himself in the troubled relationship between Bingley and Jane, their relationship seems destined to be one of animosity but both are about to learn the folly of judging from first impressions.
