“What if” in Pride and Prejudice: An Alternative Plot Twist (Petsas,Bakogiannis,Sarisavvas,Kavlakonis)

What if Elizabeth Bennet never met Mr. Darcy? First and foremost, her family would have lost their house, as there wouldn't be any successor to their property. Moreover, if Mr. Bingley never showed up, Jane wouldn't have met him, so their house would have been inherited by Mr. Collins. Eventually, Mr. Bennet, who is, in the story, the leader of the family, would die from old age. We realise that Mr. Bingley’s and Mr. Darcy’s arrival at Netherfield Park is of vital importance for the Bennet Family’s survival, as these two men become the successors of their property.
