Plot overview
Introduction
What you need to know
The whole novel in brief, part by part, and how Elizabeth's and Darcy's first impressions of each other are overturned.
Where each part's key moment falls: the two proposals, Darcy's letter as the turning point, Pemberley, Lydia's elopement, and the novel's original three volumes.
How the story is told mostly through Elizabeth's eyes, so readers share her misjudgement of Darcy and Wickham until the letter.
Eduqas's essay on this novel marks context as much as response and analysis: weave context into the argument, and treat the printed extract as a starting point, ranging across the beginning, middle and end of the novel.
