Description
When Elizabeth Bennet first meets eligible bachelor Fitzwilliam
Darcy, she thinks him arrogant and conceited; he is indifferent to
her good looks and lively mind. When she later discovers that Darcy
has involved himself in the troubled relationship between his
friend Bingley and her beloved sister Jane, she is determined to
dislike him more than ever. In the sparkling comedy of manners that
follows, Jane Austen shows the folly of judging by first
impressions and superbly evokes the friendships, gossip and
snobberies of provincial middle-class life.
