Jane Austen's "Pride And Prejudice" is a story about love. It is also about inheritance and income gaps. The heroine, Elizabeth Bennet, comes from a well-off family, the second of five daughters. But her financial future is dark because, in the absence of sons, her father's estate will pass to a cousin. Elizabeth's suitor, the brooding Mr Darcy, is fabulously wealthy. To her mother's horror, Elizabeth at first rebuffs him. All ends happily when Elizabeth decides that Darcy is ravishing after all.
