Mrs. Bennett is determined to get her daughters married.  Jane, Elizabeth, Mary, Lydia and Kitty are likely looking girls in a period when a woman's one possible career is matrimony.  To be a wife was a success.  Anything else was failure.  Jane and her Mr. Bingley and Lydia with her Mr. Wickham are quite content with things as they are, but not Elizabeth!  She actually refuses to marry Mr. Collins, whom she openly deplores, and Mr. Darcy, whom she secretly adores.  This play is the story between Elizabeth and her pride and Darcy and his prejudice, and the comedy as they learn to meet halfway.
