"Pride & Prejudice" - with spoiler...

The story happened in England in 1797, the five sisters Bennet were looking for a husband, but the second, Elizabeth said that she would just marry a man she loved.





Jane, the oldest sister fell in love with mister Bingley, a rich man that had moved to a house next to Bennet´s house.
Elizabeth met Mister Darcy, Mr. Bingley´s friend, but he was so snobbish that she didn’t like him. Mr. Bingley went back to London and Jane went to her uncle’s house, while Elizabeth travelled to her friend’s house, Charlotte who had married Bennet´s cousin, Mr. Collins.
In Lady Catherine’s house, a protector of Charlotte’s husband, Elizabeth met Mr. Darcy and his friend, who told her that Mr. Darcy, had convinced Mr. Bingley that he couldn’t marry Jane.



Mr. Darcy asked Elizabeth to marry him, but she refused it because of her sister’s story and because of Mr. Wickham, an officer that she had met and was victim of an injustice by Mr. Darcy in the argument.
Mr. Darcy wrote a letter to Elizabeth telling her the true stories and she started to feel something for him. She met him again while she was traveling with her cousins and when she discovered that her youngest sister had run away with Mr. Wickham, who was a charlatan.



Mr. Darcy went to London, found Elizabeth’s sister and paid for Mr. Wickham to marry her, but Elizabeth didn’t know even what her sister said. Mr. Bingley advised by Mr. Darcy, came back and married Jane.



Mr. Darcy’s aunt, Mrs. Catherine, came to Bennet’s house and threatened Elizabeth to reject another marriage, she banished Catherine and went to her bedroom very offended.
She couldn’t sleep and went to a stroll in the morning. She met Mr. Darcy and he told her that he knew about last night and still wanted to marry her. She accepted it, he talked with her father and they married.

I loved the film, I watched it three times and now I’m reading the book, I really recommend the film.
