剧情百科常识:


柯林斯夫妇请伊丽莎白去他们家作客,伊丽莎白在那里遇到达西的姨妈凯瑟琳(Catherine)夫人,并且被邀去她的罗辛斯山庄做客。不久,又见到了来那里过复活节的达西。达西无法抑制自己对伊丽莎白的爱慕之情,向她求婚,但态度还是那么傲慢,加之伊丽莎白之前便对他有严重偏见,便坚决地谢绝了他的求婚。这一打击使达西第一次认识到骄傲自负所带来的恶果,他痛苦地离开了她,临走前留下一封长信作了几点解释:他承认宾利不辞而别是他促使的,原因是他不满班纳特太太和班纳特小姐们的轻浮和鄙俗(不包括简和伊丽莎白),并且认为简并没有真正钟情于宾利;威克汉姆说的却全是谎言,事实是威克汉姆自己把那笔遗产挥霍殆尽,还企图勾引达西的妹妹乔治安娜私奔。伊丽莎白读信后十分后悔,既对错怪达西感到内疚,又为母亲和妹妹的行为羞愧。
