In early 19th century England, Mr and Mrs Bennet's five unmarried daughters vie for the affections of rich and eligible Mr Bingley and his status-conscious friend, Mr Darcy, who have moved into their neighbourhood. While Bingley takes an immediate liking to eldest daughter Jane, Darcy has difficulty adapting to local society and repeatedly clashes with second-eldest Elizabeth.

It is a truth universally acknowledged that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife. When Mr Bingley comes to live in the neighbourhood, Mrs Bennet considers him the rightful property of one of her five unmarried daughters.
Mr Collins , who will in time inherit Longbourn, seeks a reconciliation with the Bennet family. He intends to choose one of the girls for a wife-a plan of atonement he thinks excessively generous and disinterested on his own part.
Mr Bingley 's abrupt departure to London has hurt Jane deeply and Elizabeth is convinced the disagreeable Mr Darcy was to blame as surely as he was for the misfortunes of Mr Wickham-the most agreeable man Elizabeth ever saw.
Elizabeth found the manner of Mr Darcy 's proposal insulting and unworthy of a gentleman, but now she has learned the truth about Wickham, she grows ashamed of her former, blind prejudice.
Elizabeth has visited Pemberley and met Mr Darcy again. Knowing now that her first impressions were unjustified, she has begun to regret lost opportunities and is distressed by the news of Lydia s elopement with Wickham.
