A Respectable Man: A Pride and Prejudice Variation

In this Pride and Prejudice variation, a tragic carriage accident leaves Mr. Bennet in a coma from which they are certain he shall never awaken, and robs Jane Bennet's only hope at marriage. With Mr. Bennet's accident, the remaining Bennet family's lives are soon changed with the arrival of their cousin and rightful heir to Longbourn, Mr. Collins, and soon Jane is forced to make way for Elizabeth, as she is informed that after her father dies, she shall be presented with a choice: marry Mr. William Collins or her family will be forced to leave Longbourn. Forced to choose quickly, Elizabeth chooses Mr. Collins and has no hope of any other option until news spreads of a Mr. Bingley arriving at Netherfield Hall. It is at that Meryton assembly that Elizabeth soon meets the proud Mr. Darcy, unaware that he will be her salvation.

This Pride and Prejudice explores the possibility of a less prejudiced Elizabeth Bennet, the bonds of family and sisterly affections, and the importance of making the correct choices.
