What if the Bennet family hadn’t gone to the Meryton Ball? Chryssa, Dora

In Pride and Prejudice, the Bennet family goes to the Meryton Ball, where the girls meet the eligible bachelors who are Mr. Darcy Fitzwilliam and Charles Bingley. Had they not gone to the Ball, Jane Bennet would not have met her future husband, neither would have Elizabeth. The girls wouldn't have ignited that initial spark between them and the aristocrats, making it more difficult to get to know one another. Mr. Bigley wouldn't have been awestruck by Jane's beauty, which made it impossible for him to be with another woman. Mr. Darcy, on the other hand wouldn't have been left such a strong impression by Elizabeth, therefore their love would have never bloomed like it later did.
