THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE AFFAIR BETWEEN DARCY AND

ELIZABETH IS ALWAYS THE MAIN ATTENTION OF READERS,

FOR THEY SEEM TO BE THE LEAST IMPOSSIBLE TWO TO GET

ALONE WITH EACH OTHER IF COMPARED WITH THE OTHER

COUPLES.  AS FOR BINGLEY AND JANE, THERE AREN'T MANY

DRAMATIC SURPRISES IN THEIR COURTSHIP EXCEPT A LITTLE

ESPIED AT THE END.  THUS, TO SEE HOW INDIVIDUALLY THESE

 TWO RELATIONSHIPS ARE ARRANGED AND SET UP IS ASIMPLE

 WAY TO REALIZE WHO THE CHARACTERS REALLY ARE AND

TO  UNDERSTAND THE STORY MORE.  IN THE FOLLOWING

ARTICLE, SEVERAL DIFFERENCES AND SIMILARITIES BETWEEN

THE TWO COUPLES ABOVE WILL BE PRESENTED IN TWO PARTS,

WHICH INCLUDE THEIR FIRST IMPRESSIONS, PERSONALITIES,

 PROPOSALS, SOCIAL STATUS AND FAMILY BACKGROUNDS.
