Thank you We sneak Jane austen pride and prejudice why

00:10

did lizzie marry mr darcy Eyelash first there's a scandal

00:15

she's in trouble Or more specifically lydia bennet her sister's

00:20

in trouble Lydia is a big flirt Eventually runs off

00:23

with a man and that's just an incredible scandal There's

00:26

almost no way to recover from that improves perhaps once

00:30

and for all that the entire bennett family isn't to

00:32

be trusted And they're not married at this point right

00:35

No they're not worried So the fact that they've been

00:37

sleeping in the same quarters but haven't married means that

00:40

it's an emergency that they get married because if not

00:43

everything is ruined the entire social order has been upset

00:46

And who knows what could happen Children death certainly certainly

00:51

no marriages right away just for the other daughter right

00:54

Exactly So during this time elizabeth goes on a trip

00:58

with her uncle and hot they go to derbyshire And

01:01

while she's there she runs into who else but mr

01:04

darcy who at this point seems a little different than

01:08

us before it's also funny because this is this moment

01:11

where she comes in and sees a state before seeing

01:14

him So there's this amazing scene where she's walking through

01:16

his estate and commenting basically just on how well managed

01:19

this and she talks the servants and the servants are

01:22

really fond of him And he falls in love with

01:24

him through his products Right she's like wow like a

01:28

man that can put this together and committed this much

01:30

respect from the people working under him must really be

01:33

worth something and that's once they could actually be a

01:37

wonderful match because they both have this incredible sense of

01:39

management and warner and wanting pieces to fit together and

01:43

making sure that happened and making a home right actually

01:46

managing a household there Similarly minded it's Pretty incredible And

01:50

so then in the nick of time mr darcy comes

01:52

home early He was off visiting a friend but surprise

01:56

he's back at home when it turns out he's actually

01:59

credibly kind Polite friendly respectful as he said his servants

02:04

love him And so lizzie has pushed even more to

02:07

change her mind about him When he comes back He's

02:10

actually found lydia bribed the guy into marrying her It

02:14

turns out that the whole reason let this good for

02:16

nothing has run off With his sister is to get

02:18

money from the family so he's extorting the family for

02:21

money Mr darcy swoops and gives him the money gets

02:24

not all there It comes back and the super discrete

02:26

about it So we learned that actually he's doing this

02:29

kind of out of the goodness of his heart preserving

02:31

the whole families reputations So then lizzie's faced with this

02:34

situation which actually if he had hurt the family's honor

02:37

before he has now saved it from a cataclysmic disaster

02:40

And so she feels a debt to him but more

02:43

powerful E She also feels love for him so everything

02:47

matches up This economic exchange can take place this kind

02:51

of social exchange where lizzie's in darcy's debt takes place

02:56

but also there's love which one wins there An equal

02:58

match and they can't get married What threat did lydia

03:04

running off with mr wickham posed to the bennett family

03:07

who fixed lydia situation How did lizzie learn about mr

03:11

darcy's Good character And they all lived happily ever after 00:03:19.256 --> [endTime] Except mr collins
