Jane, Elizabeth, and Lydia are likely-looking gtrls in an unlikely-looking 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 and her Mr. Wickham, are quite content with the good of things as they are, but not Elizabeth! She actually refuses to marry Mr. Collins, whom she openly de- plores, and Mr. Darcy, whom she secretly adores. The play is the story of the duel between Elizabeth and her pride and Darcy and his prejudice. Each gives in before the evening is over, and pride and prejudice meet halfway.
