In 1813, Jane Austen published Pride and Prejudice. In this humorous, yet earnest story, Elizabeth Bennet, an unyielding and spirited character, meets a contrasting young man, Mr. Darcy. Darcy is visiting Charles Bingley, the handsome and wealthy bachelor who has recently moved to the Bennet’s hometown of Loungborne. Through the winding, fairytale-like love story of these two retrograde personalities, Elizabeth discovers Mr. Darcy’s haughtiness and imposing character is quite different than expected. His feelings toward Elizabeth evolve from arrogance to love over the course of the page-turning novel.
Elizabeth chases her tail searching for truth in this epic love story and her entertaining, estrogen-bubbling family seeks matrimonial pursuits for each daughter.

Wickham, a handsome young soldier, notifies Elizabeth that Mr. Darcy had heartlessly cheated him out of an inheritance. The story continues weaving vignettes of the Bennet girls searching, through their thoughts and their travels, for the reality of the rumors and intentions of the men in their lives. Pride and Prejudice paints a colorful picture of the pursuits of a family seeking wealth and love through marriage for their daughters in the nineteenth century....
