Page 11 in bringing Elizabeth and Darcy together and this is why I believe that Pride and Prejudice has one of the best characterisations ever. This story highlights four marriages that are poles apart from each other. Jane Austen did a remarkable job of tying such diverse stories together which ultimately strengthened the love between the protagonists. This is one thing that made the plot so much better. The fact that the three marriages helped strengthen the bond between Elizabeth and Darcy is one of the many reasons why the plot is so robust. Elizabeth and Darcy start off with a strong dislike for one another and Bingley, who immediately takes an attraction for her at a ball, fall head over heels in love with each other. As a firm believer that love does not happen at first sight, I was amused by the fact that Bingley knew almost instantly that Jane was “The One”. It was a very well-written subplot, nonetheless, and I cannot deny the fact that their story helped the protagonists so I’m not complaining. The youngest Bennet and Elizabeth’s ex-flame, Mr. Wickham is the third couple of the novel. Lydia Bennet, a flirtatious and frivolous girl, is, weirdly, the first of the Bennet sisters to get married. Though the “Pride and Prejudice has one of the best characterisations ever” jointly fueled by “Pride” and “Prejudice”, which then blooms into the sort of love that makes hopeless romantics swoon, when these qualities slowly disintegrate. In other words, Elizabeth and Darcy realise their love for one another when she drops her “Prejudice” and when he, his “Pride”. Elizabeth initially rejects him because of rumours that she believed and Darcy wins her over by doing things that displayed his affection for her. Elizabeth’s sister, Jane and Darcy’s best friend, Mr. Bingley is the second alliance highlighted in the novel. Jane, whose beauty is highlighted often throughout the course of the novel circumstances under which Lydia and Wickham get married are dire, I cannot help but crack a smile when I read Lydia’s thoughts on her elopement. In my opinion, the Lydia- Wickham situation is the one thing that made Elizabeth walk right into Darcy’s arms. I loved the fact that Darcy put the interests of Elizabeth and her family’s reputation before his own. This selfless act made me root for them more, if that’s even possible. The last and final marriage is that of Lady Lucas, Elizabeth’s best friend and Mr. Collins. Mr. Collins called upon the Bennet family to find himself a suitable wife. Finding that
Page 12 Jane was preoccupied with Bingley, he tried his hand with Elizabeth, failing which he turned to Lady Lucas. The marriage between Lady Lucas and Mr. Collins is what we call a marriage of convenience. It mutually benefitted the both of them and this was questioned by Elizabeth, who was concerned about their marriage. Mr. Collins knew and respected Darcy’s aunt, Lady Catherine. This was how Elizabeth and Darcy crossed paths yet again. Lady Catherine’s disapproval of Elizabeth is what made Darcy finally get rid of his “Pride” to get Elizabeth. One of the things that I liked about this subplot is how Lady Lucas helps Elizabeth realise that a marriage of convenience is not her cup of tea. There’s no denying that Mr. Collins is wealthy and can offer her all the things that she could want materialistically. Elizabeth realises that a marriage without love isn’t something that she wants and ultimately makes her understand her complex set of feelings for Darcy. In conclusion, Pride and Prejudice is a balanced combination of satire, irony, romance and comedy that will leave you feeling warm and gooey inside. It reinforces the fact that true love conquers all obstacles that dare come in front of it and gives a chance for the reader to hope that they have such a love story for themselves in their lives.
