Pride and Prejudice by:
Jane Austen
English
&
Literature
Okay, so once in a faraway land, wait no that’s too overused. Once there was this really rich bachelor Mr. Bingley. Mr. Bingley decided to take a vacay on the outskirts of the country, did I mention he was from England? Anyways He decided to rent this really really really really gigantic mansion called "The Netherfield Mansion" which caused people to gossip about the news. The news about the young bachelor eventually reached the neighboring town, Longbourne. Specifically the Bennett, the Bennetts were a family of 7, Mr. Bennett, Mrs. Bennett, and their five kids, Jane, Elizabeth, Mary, Catherine, and Lydia.
Why were they interested you ask? Well "She a gold digger gold digger" just kidding, the truth is that they’re all single and ready to mingle and if their father dies well the property won't be transferred to them, BAD estate planner I guess. So fast forward Mr. Bingley invites everyone to a ball and Mr. Bingley realizes he really likes Jane because Jane is actually the most handsome Dane there is in a 500 km radius. Also Mr. Bingley's best friend is introduced in the ball, Mr. Darcy
But over all the good looks and the fact that he was richer than Mr. Bingley well he was a jerk who also happened to be the most narcissistic person in the whole flat world, get it cause back then the thought the world was flat, nvm. So then in the party everyone is disgusted by Mr. Darcy's character. Fun fact when he met Elizabeth he finds out that
" He really really really really likes her. " so yah everything goes well. The following day Mr. Bingleys sister who is referred to as Mrs. Bingley in the story invites Jane for dinner, Jane accepts but....... BAM BAM BAM. She rides her horse into the sunset, but gets really wet, the dinner was great but she got sick after, flu or something. Jane ends up staying for the night probably a few nights you'll find out. The next morning Elizabeth hears the news and rushes to Netherfield accompanied by her sisters Catherine and Lydia. Elizabeth is a pretty bookworm, Catherine, and Lydia are regular pretties.
Back to the story, they head to Netherfield but Catherine, and Lydia ditch their sis when they get to the city so they could meet up with some men in uniform, everybody knows a good girl just loves a man in uniform. Fast forward Elizabeth is united with Jane but is ridiculed of being unethical, see before unethical meant not wearing nice clothes or something I mean the woman walks 5+ km on foot to see her sister, and you expect her clean as Janine??!!?!??!???? Anyways after a few days of staying in with Bingley's Jerky family they head home, a day after that Bingley invites them for another ball in the coming week, one specifically for his dear Jane you know cause she delightfully recovered (not). So a few days before the ball they meet a man named Bond, James Bond, just kidding they meet a man named Mr. Collins. Mr. Collins was the man to inherit the Bennett residence, he was sorry for being the person to take it all but he thought marrying one of the daughters would be a gracious blessing to them, what a narcissist this is why the book is called "Pride and Prejudice". Anyways let's meet a new character, Mr. Wickham; this dude fell from the sky. Just kidding, anyways this guy is some sort of servant of the lady Catherine de Brough, guess what the first thing he does is, he starts courting Elizabeth (brains are better than brawns, meaning Jane is pretty but Elizabeth is getting all the attention. See Mr. Wickham here is a jerky liar, he's sooooo desperate that he will court any woman so that his net worth would grow. Mr. Wickham tried so hard to get Jane, and also somehow found out that Mr. Darcy was courting Jane as well which happened to be his archenemy. So to get him out of the picture, he lies and tells Jane that Mr. Darcy was a bad bad person, he said that he was the reason of his finances going down, he even accused him of being a master criminal. Jane on the other hand believed him which was really irrational considering you just met the man and he happens to be the competition of your other suitor.
On the day of the ball everyone enjoys especially Jane, oh wait not everyone Elizabeth hated the party see her other sister Mary, is not such a handsome lady so she is pretty desperate and has to learn many talents. See Jane gets annoyed because Mary started to play piano she really really sucked, then she found herself dancing with the proud Mr. Collins, but she finally blew when she found herself in front of Mr. Darcy kneeling and asking her for her hand in marriage, so she lays him down easily but leaves in anger. The following day Mr. Collins proposes to Elizabeth but Elizabeth refuses *wow these people are so desperate*. Then the following Wickham realizes that Elizabeth is a hard fish to catch and so he quits courting Elizabeth and decides to court a rich maiden named Miss King. A day after that Elizabeth is even more annoyed because Mr. Collins proposes marriage to her best friend, Charlotte Lucas, that’s not why she's annoyed, Elizabeth was annoyed because well for some reason Charlotte said yes (-.-) . Because of this Elizabeth and Charlotte didn't talk for months Elizabeth didn't even say bye to her when she left for London. Oh but this isn’t the worst of the worst, Jane becomes BIPOLAR because she hasn't seen Mr. Bingley for weeks then she receives news that his sister has forced him to marry Mr. Darcy's sister Ms. Georgina Darcy. Weeks past and the sucked specifically for Jane, but something great happens, see the brother of Mrs. Bennett comes to Longbourne, Mr. Gardiner. Mr. Gardiner heard about what Jane was going through and since Mr. Bingley lived in London and he too was from London he proposed to let Jane stay in London in hopes of finding Mr. Bingley.
Again weeks passed and still no hope of finding Mr. Bingley, so they finally decided to bring Jane home. So Elizabeth met up with their cousin Colonel Fitzwilliam
, and so they head to London, in London Elizabeth is finally reunited with Jane and Jane is also very happy to see their cousin Colonel Fitzwilliam. Instead of going home they decide to splice up their life and take a tour in London and are invited to have dinner with
Lady Catherine de Brough. In dinner Lady Catherine insults Colonel Fitzwilliam about his manners on the other hand Elizabeth is praised by Lady Catherine, after dinner they receive a tour of Lady Catherine’s mansion, did I mention Lady Catherine was Mr. Darcy's aunt. In the mansion Elizabeth sees a childhood picture of Mr. Darcy and is amazed by how happy and how good a person he looked like, so Elizabeth got curious and asked Mr. Darcy's nanny how he was as a kid. The nanny assured her the Mr. Darcy was one of the kindest people she knew, soooooo selfless, he never even raised his voice in front of her. Elizabeth was amazed at how different her description was of how she knew him. Then they went off to pick up Jane, when they got out they ran into Mr. Darcy and Mr. Darcy had greeted they kindly he seemed as if he was not the Mr. Darcy they came to know he was somewhat very humble and very pleasing in character. Mr. Darcy then gave a letter to Elizabeth proving that Wickham was a liar, and so he left and Colonel Fitzwilliam decided to come with Mr. Darcy to back Longbourne. Elizabeth proceedes to pick up Jane, and so they head home.
When they get to the station they meet up with Catherine and Lydia who are soooooooo overwhelmed with men in uniform, but Lydia the youngest notices that Elizabeth and Jane are looking sooooooo awfully glum. So Lydia decides to tell them the good news, she told them that she and Mr. Wickham are getting married the next week. Elizabeth is shocked because she knows what kind of man Mr. Wickham is and so she quietly plans on how she will expose Wickham because she doesn't want her sister to get hurt in any way. When they finally reach home their parents welcome them but something juicy happens see Mr. Darcy invites Elizabeth over. So Elizabeth accepts and meets Mr. Darcy there she is astounded at how again Mr. Darcy was shockingly hospitable. Okay so everything is going pretty well but it gets better see Jane asks Darcy why his place looked so grand, Mr. Darcy says that Mr. Bingley is no longer being forced to get married with his sister and that he will be returning to Longbourne in a few days. Elizabeth gladly informs the news to her sister and Jane is filled with a glorious amount of joy. but something bad happens, just as Elizabeth expected Wickham would do something bad, see Wickham has went away and has refused to marry Lydia, the father then made an agreement to pay Mr. Wickham a good amount so that he would marry Mr. Wickham. Wickham accepts and they go off married happily ever after.
A few days later Mr. Bingley returns and everyone is invited to a ball, in the ball you guessed it Jane and Mr. Bingley were together all night long. A few days pass and finally Mr. Bingley Proposes to Jane and are married as soon as possible *wow so much different pair ups, unfaithful courtship, and now marriage number 4*. Finally a few days passed after celebrating Jane's marriage, Mr. Darcy tries one more time to win Jane's heart which he already has but by that I mean propose marriage, so he treats her on a glorious date one soooooo romantic I guess, and then he pops the question and Elizabeth says "YES" and they all lived happily ever after and that was the story of "The Pride and Prejudice" by Jane Austen, the end.
*Its funny though how the author just had to name the most GEORGEOUS GIRL IN THE STORY after her*
