The Bennets are a typical middle class family with a small farm estate that provides them a living with a maid and cook. from what I understand of the socioeconomics of the time, Mr Darcy is however of the Landed Gentry class from which you find huge estates with vast land ownership and personal wealth. Unlike titled members of the court, they usually don't have ruling rights granted them by a King, but they do control the local politics by default due to their control of the lands around them and the people they employ. Extremely wealthy merchants can often fall into this economic class. Darcy would be expected to marry within his own class to preserve fortunes and lands. Women like his sister Georgianna, would not retain land but may inherit large sums of money and may be gifted, when she marries, a generous home suitable for a woman of her station, by the patriarch of the estate if he so wishes. She is expected to marry within her social rank so that the dowery she brings, expands the fortunes of her husband's family
Fun facts 1 the director thought kiera was too pretty to play lizzie in the book it was jane who was thr pretiest. 2 ) mr darcy in real life had poor eyesight while he was walking in the last scens. He could not see properly so the director had to use sound

Love the AI subtitles. Mr. Darcy and his hottie manner LOL
The Bennets aren't exactly poor. They do not have to work for a living.

And the Bennets are CERTAINLY not "lower class". They have servants.
Yes, they were not POOR
