Jane and Lizzy

A Pride and Prejudice Variation inspired by Jane Austen's Sense and Sensibility

De: Hailey Jones

Narrado por: Virtual Voice

Inspired by the fraught dual love stories found in Jane Austen's Sense and Sensibility, this Pride and Prejudice variation is a vagary which explores what might have happened if the Bennet family estate had been Netherfield Park, not Longbourn, and the aftermath of Mr. Bennet's early demise.

Jane and Lizzy are still very young—nineteen and seventeen—and Mr. Collins, upon whom the estate had been entailed, takes over Netherfield Park with his greedy, selfish wife, Mrs. Caroline Collins (née Bingley). Her brother, the reserved yet surprisingly amiable Mr. Bingley, comes to stay, meeting Jane and falling in love—or so everyone thinks.

Mrs. Bennet receives a message from a distant relative, a Sir John Rutherford, to move to Derbyshire where they can live in a cottage on his estate, and thus the Bennets leave their Hertfordshire home forever. Lizzy is thrown in with a taciturn Mr. Darcy, whom everyone says she should marry, since he is lonely and rich—but then she meets the marvelous, enigmatic, and romantic Mr. Wickham, and an infatuation like no other ensues, all while a concerned Mr. Darcy observes quietly from the sidelines.

Explore what happens when two sisters—the eldest with an extraordinary amount of sense, the younger having too much sensibility—meet the men with whom they are meant to be. Read on to see how our favorite dear couples find their happily ever afters.

No original thought…

You can’t just take one book and change the characters names. Horrible Jane Austen “variation”.
