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.
