The novel
Charles Bingley - a young and wealthy bachelor - moves to an estate adjacent to the Bennets estate. This is very good news for Mrs. Bennet, who sees the appearance of the young lord as an opportunity to marry one of her five daughters. Soon a ball is organized in the nearby town of Meryton, which is a great opportunity for socializing. Bingley shows up with his sisters, brother-in-law and friend Darcy, who owns even more money than he does. Mrs. Bennet's plan seems to be slowly realizing - Bingley is indeed enchanted by Miss Jane, the oldest and prettiest of Miss Bennet. Her sister Elizabeth is not so much successful and apparently does not arouse Darcy's interest or even makes him reluctant to make any contacts. Darcy refuses to dance with her, considering her beauty to be "tolerable" at best. This statement is unintentionally heard by Lizzy, who, although she does not seem to be concerned about it, has a clear dislike of Darcy. Ultimately, Darcy, reluctant to dance and isolating himself from society, alienates almost everyone at the ball. They see him as a pompous buffoon overly proud of his fortune.
Meanwhile, the feeling that has brought Jane and Bingley together seems to intensify, and circumstances also contribute. Jane receives an invitation to dinner from Mrs. Karolina Bingley, and after catching a cold on the way, she has to stay with the Bingle family for a few days. Sister Elizabeth, who visits the sick, approves of the acquaintance, seeing in Bingley a good man worthy of her sister's love and respect. In turn, she herself seems to unexpectedly arouse an increasing interest in Darcy, which she decides not to notice at all. In the end, sick Jane is also visited by Mrs. Bennet and her younger sisters, who, without social manners, cannot behave properly, which causes them to commit a few indiscretions.
The quiet life of the women is disturbed by the arrival of the militia regiment with George Wickham, a very handsome officer who breaks the hearts of many ladies. Pastor Collins is also coming to Maryton to inherit Mr. Bennet's property by majorate law. He also has plans to marry one of his cousins. He chooses Jane, but Mrs. Bennet tells him that Jane is almost engaged. So the pastor turns his attention to Elizabeth, but she is not interested in him. The prospect of living with a pompous bore, whom she has no respect at all, doesn't appeal to her at all, and she doesn't want to spend the rest of her life in this way. The vision of a safe and prosperous life with the pastor, however, is appreciated by Charlotte Lucas (Bennets' neighbor), who accepts the proposal without hesitation. According to Lizzy, Charlotte will not find true happiness with a pastor. Lizzy herself, on the other hand, is very much into Wickham, who turns out to have some connections with Mr. Darcy - she is the son of the former manager of the Darcy's estate. Wickham reveals to Elizabeth, that Mr. Darcy's made it difficult for him to receive a sum of money bequeathed to him by old Mr. Darcy. So Lizzy recognizes that her apparent dislike of Darcy was perfectly justified.
Meanwhile, Bingley unexpectedly leaves the Netherfield Park estate. What's more, he will probably stay permanently in London. Jane is completely in love with him, but she tries not to show her caring. However, it's noticed by Lizzy, who blames Jane's misfortune on Bingley's sisters, who showed resentment towards her due to a small dowry.
Some time later, Jane goes to London - to uncle Gardiner. Lizzy hopes her sister will meet Bingley there. On the other hand, she goes to Charlotte, who lives with Pastor Collins in a rural presbytery. Here he is acquainted with the local heiress - Mr. Darcy's aunt and Collins' protector - Mrs. Katherine de Bourgh. Darcy arrives himself also show up in Rosings. Lizzy learns from the colonel that Mr. Darcy has dissuaded Bingley from having a relationship with Jane, who has no major connections.
Miss Bennets appear at the rectory more and more often. One day Darcy unexpectedly proposes to Lizzy. After what she recently found out about him and after learning about Darcy's true attitude towards her family, Elizabeth rejects this offer. At the same time, he tells Darcy what he really thinks about him.
Darcy, however, is relentless and constantly seeks contact with Lizzy. One day, while walking in the park, he gives her a letter explaining that the overturning of her father's will was not his fault in the least. In addition, he reveals to Lizzie that Wickham once attempted to seduce his sister. However, she is not yet ready to accept a proposal and leaves Kent with mixed feelings, as she receives an invitation to the Gardiners who offer her a tour of Derby. They decide to visit Mr. Darcy's mansion in Pemberley. However, without having found the owner, they are shown around the property by the hostess.

Unexpectedly, however, the news comes that Lydia will marry Wickham in exchange for the officer receiving money from uncle Gardiner. Already married, Lydia and Wickham visit the Bennets.

When the young couple is leaving, it turns out that Mr. Bingley has just returned. The next day he comes to visit the family, and the relationship is renewed. Bingley then proposes to Jane, and his proposal is immediately accepted. Darcy, in turn, treats Elizabeth with a certain reserve and distance, which is why young Miss Bennet has doubts whether he will ask her to marry him as well.
