Masterpiece Season 37 Episode 10 Pride and Prejudice (1)

  • February 10, 2008

Elizabeth Bennet is a young, independent woman living in 18th century England. She lives with her four sisters, who are all desperate to find wealthy husbands. Elizabeth, however, is not interested in marrying unless it is for love.

When a wealthy and handsome young bachelor named Mr. Bingley moves into the neighborhood, the Bennet family is excited at the prospect of one of the sisters catching his eye. Indeed, Mr. Bingley is taken with the eldest Bennet sister, Jane, but Elizabeth is not quite so impressed with his friend, Mr. Darcy.

Despite their initial dislike of each other, Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy find themselves continually thrown into each other's company. Their interactions are marked by the sharp barbs they exchange, with each feeling as though the other is unspeakably proud and impossibly prejudiced.

As Jane and Mr. Bingley grow closer, Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy find themselves in increasing proximity, and they continue to spar with one another over everything from social proprieties to personal character flaws. But as they each come to understand and appreciate the other's quirks and virtues, their feelings begin to shift and they find themselves struggling with a growing attraction to one another.

Against the backdrop of Regency England's high society, where marriage is often more about financial stability and social status than love, Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy must navigate their own feelings and the expectations of those around them in order to determine whether their pride and prejudices will keep them apart forever, or if they can overcome them to find true happiness together.

Adapted from Jane Austen's beloved novel, "Pride and Prejudice" is a timeless story of wit, banter, romance, and societal class distinctions.
