Unexpected Heroine

Write a Jane Austen “Pride and Prejudice” fanfic where Mary Bennet, the overlooked middle sister, becomes the story’s heroine.

In the original novel, Mary Bennet is overshadowed by her more popular sisters and her character is left largely unexplored. Use this opportunity to give Mary her own narrative, explore her strengths, and make her the unexpected heroine. Could she find love or success in ways the original novel didn’t predict? This prompt indulges in character exploration, alternate plotlines, and the thrill of rewriting classic literature.
