Plot of Pride and Prejudice :: essays research papers
Mrs. Bennet is anxious to have her five daughters marry into well houses. When a rich single, man Charles Bingley, arrives nearby, she urges her husband to get to know him. The Bennets go to a ball in a town called Meryton, and are introduced to Charles Bingley. Everyone likes him but his friend, Fitzwilliam Darcy is found to be arrogant. Mr. Darcy doesnââ¬â¢t dance with anyone outside his ââ¬Å"group,â⬠and he says that Elizabeth Bennet is attractive, but not enough to tempt him. Mr. Bingley starts to admire Jane Bennet and his love deepens to the extent that Janeââ¬â¢s sisters and Mr. Darcy get concerned. Mr. Darcy is repelled by the familyââ¬â¢s lower status and an embarrassing family. Mr. Darcy, however, still becomes interested in Elizabethââ¬â¢s good-spirited character, and Mr. Bingleyââ¬â¢s jealous disapproval do nothing to lessen Mr. Darcyââ¬â¢s interest.

Wickhamââ¬â¢s story makes Darcy look arrogant and cruel, and Elizabeth start to have a prejudice against Mr. Darcy from then on. At another ball, Elizabeth resents Wickhamââ¬â¢s absence. Later on she is also embarrassed by her family. Mrs. Bennet refuses to stop talking about what a good couple Jane and Mr. Bingley will make. On the other hand, Mary Bennet bores the whole company by trying to play the piano. Mr. Collins, suddenly, proposes to Elizabeth at the ball and she rejects. Mr. Collins doesnââ¬â¢t believe that Elizabeth is intently refusing him, but after Mr. and Mrs. Bennet explain it to him, he seems to understand. The whole Bingley party, all of a sudden, leaves Netherfield to go to London. Caroline Bingley writes to Jane that they donââ¬â¢t mean to return for the whole winter, and she tells her what a good couple Georgiana Darcy and Mr.
