Pride and Prejudice

8. SUMMARY
●
Pride and Prejudice is the story of Mrs. and Mr. Bennet and their five
daughters, Jane, Elizabeth, Mary, Catherine and Lydia. The story focuses on
various romantic adventures these young girls encounter at their residence.
Their parents are strikingly contrasting to each other. Mr. Bennet comes across
as a wise and witty gentleman, while the issue of marrying off her daughters has
absorbed Mrs. Bennet completely. The arrival of the young and wealthy bachelor
Charles Bingley and his friend Fitzwilliam Darcy adds a new twist to Austen's
tale. It is the story of the various fondness, mannerisms and engagement pranks
that develop due to Mrs. Bennet's insistent matchmaking and the dashing
Darcy's passionate relationship with Elizabeth Bennet.
