Pride and Prejudice Variations

How would the story of Pride and Prejudice be altered if Mr. Wickham had been a good man? Instead of becoming a scoundrel who regularly attempts to elope with teenage girls, Mr. Wickham studies the law as he originally told Mr. Darcy when he gave up the value of the living. After finishing his studies, Mr. Wickham finds work in Meryton with Mr. Phillips, a local solicitor and the Bennets's uncle.

Lady Anne Darcy knew that her time was running out, and she wanted to leave her son, Fitzwilliam Darcy, with a legacy of love. Thus, she wrote a series of letters to him, with the intention that her sister, Lady Catherine, would deliver them at the right time. But when Lady Catherine received the letters, she decided to keep them from Fitzwilliam, believing they conflict with her own plans for him. Years later, Anne de Bourgh discovers the letters and gives them to Fitzwilliam, who is shocked to discover that everything he thought he knew about his mother's wishes for him was wrong.
