Introduction

In Pride and prejudices, Jane Austen addresses a common reality in England in the early nineteenth century: women who are not rich have to marry well. And by "good" we mean "a rich man," so that any kind of a good family with a large and steady income qualifies for the Chase Marriage. Do men rich but not smart, not cute and boring? To Mrs. Bennet does not care. Well, she has five daughters who lack a fortune. When some (rich) Mr. Bingley moves into your neighborhood and cares for his eldest daughter, Jane, Mrs. Bennet gets very happy and makes Cupid, which creates a very uncomfortable situation for your family and innocent bystanders (Bloom, pp. 100).

However, it is not easy. While Mr. Bingley is relaxed and friendly, his sisters are malicious snobs whose attitude is fostered by Mr. Darcy.

Elizabeth comes to care for her sister and to participate in exchanges with Mr. Darcy ingenious (Belsey, pp. 31).

In Long bourn (the Bennet house), Mr. Collins comes to visit. As he is the closest relative of Mr. Bennet, Mr. Collins will inherit the fifth after Mr. Bennet dies. Mr. Collins has decided that it would be good to marry one of the Bennet girls to keep your home. Elizabeth seems like more, but he is, incidentally, an idiot who idolizes his boss, Lady Catherine. Clearly, Elizabeth finds it disgusting (Austen, pp. 85).

As for the younger Bennet daughters, now is the military and are ready to embark on any officer who comes for its parts.
