Pride and Prejudice

ACT 1

The five unmarried Bennet sisters attend a ball at the estate of Mr. Bingley, a wealthy gentleman who has recently moved to Hertfordshire. Bingley and Jane fall in love. Meanwhile, Elizabeth meets the haughty Mr. Darcy, who is taken aback by her vibrant personality. The Bennets are visited by Mr. Collins, a distant relative will inherit the Bennet estate (because Mr. Bennet has no male heir). Mr. Collins proposes to Elizabeth, which would solve the inheritance problem. However, Elizabeth cannot accept a man she has no feelings for. She also meets Mr. Wickham, who tells a woeful story about being mistreated by Darcy in the past. Bingley abruptly leaves Hertfordshire, perhaps never to return. Jane is heartbroken. Elizabeth goes on a summer tour with her relatives, stopping at Pemberley—the Darcy family estate. Here, Elizabeth learns that it was Darcy who dissuaded Bingley from proposing to Jane. Angered by this revelation, she is about to berate Darcy when he delivers an unexpected proposal.

ACT 2

Elizabeth rejects Darcy’s suit. Later, Darcy explains by letter that Wickham had misled her about his checkered past and that Darcy had reason to “mistreat” him. Word arrives that her youngest sister Lydia has run away with Wickham to London. Fortunately, Wickham agrees to marry Lydia, saving her reputation. It is later revealed that Wickham was persuaded by Darcy, who cleared his gambling debts in return. After this incident, Lady de Bourgh tries browbeat Elizabeth into severing all ties with Darcy, arguing that they are of entirely different stations. Does Elizabeth listen to reason…or her heart?
