Sinopsis

Why must a lady marry at all? Of course a person must have means... and the Bennets had none. But surely her father would live to be a great age. Not yet fifty, Mr. Bennet had years before they must worry about Mr. Collins casting them out. It was only Mama that was difficult. Some days Lizzie believed that her mother would marry each one of them off at the first opportunity, regardless of personal wishes or lack of affection. But, as her mother's child, she could be equally stubborn. Elizabeth Bennet would marry for love and nothing less. However, when she believes that her father is seriously ill, all thoughts of freedom are tossed aside as the reality of being penniless looms over her. Sometimes, a lady must sacrifice personal wishes for the sake of others even if it means a lifetime of misery. This was not how the fairy tale was supposed to end. Where was her knight in shining armor? Surely, marriage to Mr. Collins would not be that bad? After all, life was not like a story in a book, sometimes the ogre got the princess and no one lived happily ever after. But, sometimes.... On those rare occasions....the princess makes her own choices and lives by her own rules. Elizabeth Bennet is that kind of princess.
