Chapter 11: Bingley returns to Netherfield In this novel, individual conflicts are caused and dismissed within a limited society, in which relationships are determined by money and social rank. The opening sentence of Mrs. Bennet establishes a great deal on the societal values that underlie the main conflict. °It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife.± Mrs. Bennet is well fit into society¯s edicts and Bingley is regarded only in the light of society¯s truth.
