Insights into Events


  • Was there ever such an unlikely match as Elizabeth & Darcy? How did they ever overcome class, family, pride, prejudice, lies, anger, resentment and jealousy?
  • Who could ever imagine that Wickham would fulfill his ambition to become Darcy’s brother-in-law or Collins would end up related to Lady Catherine?

The inconceivable becomes reality. An insight into the events in the story


Life Response
  • What does Darcy’s extraordinary psychological transformation have to do with Elizabeth's change of heart?
  • What inner change in Elizabeth frees her and her family from scandal and despair?
  • How did Mr. Bennet’s reversal result in Lydia’s marriage without cost to him?

Life responds to a change in attitude, a change of heart, a psychological progress




Character of Life
  • What brings Darcy, Wickham, Bingley and Collins to Meryton at the same time?
  • What brings Elizabeth and Darcy to Pemberley at the same time?
