Sharp-witted Elizabeth Bennet clashes repeatedly with the proud, wealthy Mr. Darcy, whose initial arrogance and her own hasty judgments keep them apart even as their mutual attraction grows, all set against her mother's frantic efforts to marry off five daughters in Regency England. Jane Austen's 1813 novel is a comedy of manners and one of the most beloved romances in English literature, prized for its wit, social satire, and unforgettable central couple.
