The existing adaptations convey the story in various ways, for example setting it in Austen's time or transferring it to modern times.

Pride and Prejudice begins with the announcement of a young, affluent single man called Charles Bingley who moves to Netherfield Park.

He, who also is an affluent bachelor, is introduced as a proud and disagreeable man after acting haughty due to his higher social standing and refusing to dance with Elizabeth at a ball. [...]
