'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 buys a nearby estate bringing with him his friend Mr. Darcy, Mrs Bennet is positively quaking with delight. As the Bennets have five daughters, the prospect of two newcomers who are both rich and single is quiet intriguing. However, her second daughter, Elizabeth, and the handsome Mr. Darcy have to overcome many differences before any matches are made. With sharp wit, Pride and Prejudices explores the social conventions of the time.
