Scene One
Place : the hall Characters : Darcy, Bingley, Mrs. Bennet, Elizabeth, Jane, Lydia, Wickham
• Narratage : It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife.
Darcy: She is tolerable, I suppose, but not really beautiful enough to tempt me. I don’t want to pay attention to the ladies no other man wants. Go, dance with your girls. May I？ Elizabeth: Mr. Darcy, are you dancing tonight? Darcy: NO, I’d rather be alone. Elizabeth: What a proud man he is. Mrs. Bennet: Mr. Darcy is such a horrible, disagreeable man, and not at all worth pleasing. He was so rude and proud. He thinks my Elizabeth is not pretty enough to dance with him. How could he say so? Elizabeth: Anyway, I don’t like him at all.
• Darcy: No, believe me • Elizabeth: in spite of my family’s low position. You know I have. Do you think anything would tempt me to accept a man who had ruined his best friend? • Darcy: What do you mean by my best friend? • Elizabeth: Wickham, of course. What excuse can you give for your behaviors towards him? • Darcy: You sound very interested in Wickham. • Elizabeth: He told me about his misfortune. • Darcy: Oh, his misfortune may be great!
Mrs. Bennet: Elizabeth, Jane, and Lydia! I have heard that Mr. Bingley and Mr. Darcy are very rich men. Seize the chance to be their women and you shall be happy for the rest of your life. This is your chance, girls. One day, someone will catch your eye, and t hen you'll have to watch your tongue. Lydia: Which of the painted peacocks is our Mr. Bin gley?
• Darcy: Hey, Elizabeth. • Elizabeth: Hello, Mr. Darcy • Darcy: I’d like to have a few words with you. Can I talk to you? • Elizabeth: Yes, Mr. Darcy. • Darcy: In private, please. I have struggled in vain against my feelings. You must allow me to tell you how much I admire and love you in spite of your position. Since I saw you, I have found you so attractive. • Elizabeth: I don’t understand.
• • • •
Darcy: Are you… Are you laughing at me? Elizabeth: No. Darcy: Are you rejecting me? Elizabeth: I am sure the feeling which hindered your regard will help you overcome it. • Darcy: I would like to know why you’re refusing me so rudely. • Elizabeth: I might also ask you why took the trouble to tell me that it is so much against your will power, your reason and your character to like me,
• Bingley: Mr. Darcy, welcome to the party. • Darcy: Thank you Mr. Bingley. As soon as I received your invitation, I’ve taken a train all the way from hometown to here. So, is the party held for some particular reason?
