Pride and Prejudice

Meet Elizabeth Bennet, twenty years old, smart, sarcastic, attractive, and a little quick to judge based on selective first impressions. When she first meets Mr. Darcy, she is not impressed. The man is not fond of dancing or making light conversation.

When Elizabeth's sister, Jane, catches cold and is forced to stay at Netherfield for a short time, Elizabeth arrives to take care of her, and is forced to spend time with that condescending Mr. Darcy.

She has no interest in him, of course, preferring to spend time with Mr. Wickham, and a love triangle is formed where Wickham and Darcy are enemies and both want to be with Elizabeth.

This classic novel of romance among the landed gentry at the turn of the 19th century has been one of the most popular novels of English literature.
