It struck me as pretty ridiculous to be ca//ed Mr Darcy and to stand on your own looking snooty ot a party. It's like being ca//ed Heathcliff and insisting on spending the entire evening in the garden, shouting 'Cathy' and banging your head against a tree.

Bridget Jones's Diary documents Bridget's struggles through the social minefield of her thirties — the merits of being a singleton versus a smug married, the advantages of wearing a see-through top to work, and how to handle her crazed match-making mother.
