As I read on in Pride and Prejudice the story began to take a different twist. I had begun to feel like I was living in this era or time period in England because the author has done a great job of describing and including imagery.
The Bennets’ neighbors are the Lucas family. The Lucas family includes Sir William Lucas, Mrs. Lucas, and their children. In the Lucas family the eldest daughter is Charlotte who is best friends with Elizabeth Bennet. Just like Mrs. Bennet, Mrs. Lucas is also a gossip queen who is in search of a suitable husband for her daughters. The morning after the ball the two gossip queens unite to discuss the actions of Mr. Darcy as well as Mr. Bingley. As the two women discuss how Mr. Bingley viewed Jane Bennet to be gorgeous of all girls at the ball. Excitement had arisen in Mrs. Bennets mind as she thought of all the benefits for her daughter, Jane. Mrs. Bennet and Mrs. Lucas approach Elizabeth on her thoughts on Mr. Darcy as they had seen the two interacting the night before. Elizabeth explains that she will never dance with Mr. Darcy after his rude behavior the night before. Together everyone agrees that Mr. Darcy is too arrogant for the town.
As time goes on Mr. Bingley expresses additional interest towards Jane Bennet each day. In attempt to break off any ties between Mr. Bingley and Jane, Mr. Bingley’s sisters often visit the Bennet family. Although, Jane is not affected by behavior of Mr. Bingley’s sisters she is not yet sure if Mr. Bingley is the one. Elizabeth and Charlotte Lucas warn Jane that if she waits to long to express her feelings for Mr. Bingley he may not stay in town waiting for her. Meanwhile the love story of Mr. Darcy and Elizabeth begins as they put their pride and prejudice to the side.
