Caroline

Caroline Bingley was raised to think it her duty to marry a wealthy gentleman, just like her brother's friend Mr. Darcy. She pins all her hopes on Mr. Darcy, but when he chooses to marry someone else instead, someone less worthy, how will she ever live up to her parents' expectations? More importantly, does she even still want to? In the aftermath of Mr. Darcy's betrayal, Caroline must decide what matters most to her and how to make her own happiness. In Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice, we come to hate Caroline for being vain, selfish, and manipulative. But what made her that way? And, after a devastating heartbreak any of us can relate to, how does she move on? Join Caroline as she spends the Season in Town with the Darcy family wondering, like many of us, how did I get here? And what on Earth do I do now?
