It's the rom-com of all rom-coms. There is even a Bollywood musical, Bride and Prejudice. Her co-star Colin Firth may have won an Oscar playing a British monarch, but to Darcy fans, he is a god thanks to a certain scene involving a wet white shirt. Sex, lies and runaway teens.
An Army officer in his 20s, Wickham is a smooth operator who tries to seduce underage girls for fun and profit. Though he fails to lure Mr. Darcy's year-old heiress sister into marriage, Wickham succeeds in deflowering and shacking up with Elizabeth's year-old sister, Lydia, without benefit of clergy, thanks to her "animal spirits.
Readers know that Austen, who never married, disapproves of Elizabeth's friend Charlotte Lucas' decision to marry a "conceited, pompous, narrow-minded, silly man" simply for money.
