The Picture of Dorian Gray

A gentleman needs a wife. It is a common

knowledge, really. So when a handsome young man,

Mr. Bingley, a bachelor with a steady income

£5,000, comes to Netherfield

estate he quickly becomes the center of attention.

The Bennet family, with five daughters, simply

cannot ignore this chance. A man must marry

one of them.

But Mr. Bingley has not come alone. His friend

Mr. Darcy, Esquire, accompanies him to Netherfield.

A handsome man, rich and aristocratic.

pedigree — he is the perfect groom. With one exception

his pride. He is arrogant and contemptuous of people

below him. Looking at Elizabeth Bennet, he says that

she is not beautiful enough to dance with him. What

has he to do with these poor nobles?

And so from pride comes prejudice.

«He is a gentleman, and I am a gentleman

daughter. As long as we are equal.»
