'But people themselves alter so much that there is something new to be observed in them forever.' 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.
