When the wealthy and handsome Mr Bingley arrives in the quiet village of Longbourn, he causes a stir-especially in the Bennet household, where Mrs Bennet is eager to marry off her five daughters. At a ball, Mr Bingley shows an interest in the eldest Bennet daughter, Jane, while his friend, the proud and aloof Mr Darcy, snubs Elizabeth, Jane's quick-witted and independent sister. As the two are thrown together again and again, Elizabeth's prejudice and Darcy's pride slowly begin to unravel. Pride and Prejudice is a witty and classic tale of two strong-willed people who must confront their own flaws to discover that true happiness can only be found when both pride and prejudice are set aside. Elinor and Marianne Dashwood are sisters, yet their temperaments are in stark contrast to one another. Elinor, governed by reason and restraint, embodies the quiet strength of sense, while her younger sister, Marianne, embraces life with passion and abandon, guided by sensibility. Following their father's death, the Dashwoods must contend with the uncertain ground of love, loss and societal expectation. As Marianne suffers the anguish of a broken heart, Elinor quietly hides her feelings beneath a veil of propriety. Sense and Sensibilityis an unforgettable tale of two sisters struggling to come to terms with the fact that neither sense nor sensibility alone can lead to happiness.
