* AdaptedOut: Mr. and Mrs. Bennet, Lady Catherine and her daughter Anne, Mrs. Gardiner and her children, Colonel Fitzwilliam, and Mr. and Mrs. Hurst do not appear.
* AdaptationNameChange: Darcy's younger sister is named Georgiana in the original story; here, it's [[EmbarrassingFirstName Euphemianna]].
* AdaptationRelationshipOverhaul:
** Mary being in love with Mr. Collins is a common fan interpretation of the original novel. Here, it's much more explicit, and [[spoiler:they end up together in the end]].
** Elizabeth and Wickham already know each other before Elizabeth meets Darcy and are on flirty terms. However, Elizabeth seems much more initially aware of Wickham's deadbeat tendencies than she did in the original novel, where it wasn't until hearing Darcy's side of the story that she seriously suspected anything wrong with Wickham.
* AdaptationalAlternateEnding: [[spoiler:Lydia and Wickham]] do not get married in this version, meaning both end up happier than they did in the original.
* AdaptationalAttractiveness: In the original novel, Mary is described as the plain girl among the five. Here, she's HollywoodHomely at worst, and succeeds at [[spoiler:attracting Collins]] once she gets an UnnecessaryMakeover and [[TheGlassesGottaGo loses her glasses]].
* AdaptationalBackstoryChange: In this version, Darcy and Wickham didn't grow up together.
* AdaptationalEarlyAppearance: Elizabeth and Wickham already know each other before Elizabeth ever meets Darcy.
* AdaptationalHeroism:
** Elizabeth is much more supportive of Mary in this version than in the novel, [[PetTheDog backing her up]] during her embarrassing singing at Bingley's party, then later helping her pursue Collins.
** In the original, one of the reasons why Elizabeth rejected Darcy the first time was because he convinced Bingley to separate from Jane. Here, Darcy never objected to the pairing. Bingley sees Collins proposing to Jane and decides to leave [[IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy on his own]], meaning Darcy had nothing to do with the breakup and Elizabeth's accusations just came from prejudice.
** Very downplayed, but in the original, Wickham attempted to elope with Darcy's sister in an attempt to either ruin her and Darcy or else get part of Darcy's fortune. Here, while Wickham still has the womanizing, gambling, and general sleaziness of the original, and took advantage of Anne for her money, at the very least his elopement had nothing to do with specifically trying to damage her and Darcy's reputation.
* AdaptationalKarma: In the original novel, Caroline Bingley's only comeuppance is knowing Darcy married Elizabeth instead of her. Here, Caroline [[GoldDigger marries]] a 75-year old billionaire with a heart condition... and he ends up living another 18 years and fathering three children with her.
* AdaptationalVillainy: Caroline in the original novel was a FalseFriend to Jane who schemed to break her up with her brother Charles, but while she was a rival with Elizabeth for Darcy's attention, her actions never extended beyond general nastiness. Here, with Lady Catherine being AdaptedOut, Caroline takes her role as the person directly trying to stop Elizabeth from marrying Darcy, complete with flat-out lying that she's engaged to him in order to get Elizabeth to back off.
