From the Paper:

""Pride and Prejudice," Austen's best-known novel, was published in 1813 and tells the story of the Bennet family. Mr. Bennet is the father of five daughters - major bad luck since his estate must pass to a male heir. The family suffers from financial problems, and unfortunately to solve the family's financial problems, the only thing to do is marry off the girls well. So Mrs. Bennet's antennae go up when a well-to-do bachelor, Mr. Bingley moves into the neighborhood. Bingley is cheerful and easygoing, perfect for the sweet and lovely eldest daughter, Jane. However Bingley is accompanied not only by two snobbish shrews of sisters, but also by his sullen best friend, Mr. Darcy. Darcy is destined to be matched with second sister Elizabeth. But at an introductory ball, Darcy instantly offends everyone. He thinks he is too good for their society, and Elizabeth thinks he's a big jerk. Thus, the obstacles to true love: his pride and her prejudice."
