Pride and prejudice report
The story follows the Bennet sisters, a group of fine young women who, with the assistance of an overbearing mother, are in search of appropriate men to marry. Only the father seems immune to the high drama going on in the household as Mother Bennet strategizes over how to get her brood married off.
Elizabeth (Keira Knightly) is the defiant one of the bunch, struggling against class restrictions and only wanting to marry for love. She meets up with the taciturn Mr. Darcy (Matthew Macfadyen) and is both repulsed and attracted to the wealthy gentleman. As the two are forced together in various social situations, Darcy soon wises up to the fact he’s smitten with the fair Elizabeth. Meanwhile Elizabeth rejects a foppish suitor, becomes enamored with Darcy’s enemy, and watches her sisters fall in and out of love before ultimately giving into the fact she and Darcy are meant for one another.
