Pride and Prejudice tell us about the Bennets, a middle-class family made up of Mr. and Mrs. Bennet and
five daughters, of marriageable age: Jane, Elizabeth, Mary, Kitty, and Lydia. Since it is stipulated in his
case that daughters cannot inherit their father's estate, but must revert to a son or nearest male
relative, on Mr Bennet's death the Longbourn estate where they live will pass to be from Mr Collins. For
this reason, when Mr. Bingley arrives in the neighborhood, Mrs. Bennet will try by all means to make
this young man interested in one of her daughters in order to ensure a future not only for her, but for
the rest of her daughters.

Along with Mr. Bingley, his two sisters arrive (one of them married) and Mr. Darcy, a very rich man who,
despite his fortune, does not end up being liked by the locals. He describes him as "the proudest and
most unpleasant man in the world", which contrasts with the affable and outspoken character of his
friend Bingley.

The characters of Mr. Darcy and Elizabeth will soon collide, and his pride and her prejudice will develop
into a dangerous mix. Until finally reaching the acceptance of love by both.
