Pride and Prejudice follows Elizabeth Bennet and her four sisters, who must marry well in order to ensure their financial security. Wealthy bachelors Mr. Bingley and Mr. Darcy arrive in Netherfield, much to the excitement of the Bennet daughters. While Bingley is charming and affable, Darcy is cold and prideful, and Elizabeth immediately dislikes him. When Elizabeth unexpectedly encounters Mr. Darcy again, and he proposes marriage to her. Shocked and offended by his manners and behavior, Elizabeth rejects him. Darcy writes Elizabeth a letter explaining his behavior, and she comes to realize she has severely misjudged his character..
