Pride and Prejudice centers around a strong-willed, perceptive woman named Elizabeth Bennet, her plight to find a worthy suitor, and her relationship with the man that would ultimately occupy her thoughts, Mr.
Darcy and Elizabeth start off with less-than-ideal first impressions that inevitably influence their interactions throughout the duration of the book.
The novel brings readers through a series of misunderstandings, rocky conversations, and eventually concludes in an epic way. Consistently remaining a page-turner throughout, it has an ending that a reader cannot pass up. Her mother's main ambition is to see her, along with her four sisters - Jane, Mary, Catherine, and Lydia - married off to wealthy men. At a ball, Elizabeth meets Fitzwilliam Darcy, a wealthy, handsome, intelligent man. He dances with Jane and does not seem attracted to Elizabeth.
However, as the story progresses and they become more acquainted with each other, he finds himself falling for her, and she realises that under his proud and aloof exterior, he is a kind and decent man. Despite the obstacles in their way including the jealous, snobby Caroline Bingley, who has her eyes on Darcy herself and believes that Elizabeth does not have enough social standing to marry him , the two get together, much to the happiness of Mr and Mrs Bennett.
