I think Caroline did like him on some levels, but knew of course that he would never have a woman like her, as even she was not a "truly accomplished woman". They were more brother/sister in the end, but Caroline is also from an aristocracy, with Elizabeth obviously not being good enough as a friend, family member, or equal.
Do read the book, but it's good you saw the movie in advance. Then you have characters to at least put in your "mind's movie" ... when I read it 17 years ago, I kept falling asleep.

Yes, Caroline Bingley was attracted to Mr Darcy. The BBC adaptation (1995) to me was the closest in capturing the spirit of the book (as it runs longer and is more detailed) and the fact that Bingley was having a big crush on Darcy was quite palpable in the BBC miniseries.

yes..but please read the book. also, rent the original movie (black and white) w/ greer garson.. it's really very good.
caroline was jealous and was constantly trying to make darcy like her, and said many disparaging things about the Bennet's because they were poor, but darcy had his own agenda :). she also eventually tried to ruin Jane's engagement to her brother because she was afraid darcy would get too close to elizabeth
ok and she acted as tho her brother was interested in darcy's sister, when in FACT she was only like 12 years old or something!! so it was impossible for bingley to have that kind of relationship w/ her.... so when elizabeth met her, she found that she was really sweet and adorable and that darcy had told her so many wonderful things about elizabeth!!! again it shows that caroline was being a big ol' brat trying to keep jane apart from bingley

Both Darcy and Elizabeth, as well as most characters in the novel, experience some amount of pride and prejudice. Pride and prejudice are what keep Darcy from admitting his feelings for Elizabeth; Elizabeth at first can't see past her prejudice against the higher class to develop feelings for Darcy, then her pride keeps her from admitting them. Austen considered the title "First Impressions" before settling on "Pride and Prejudice," if that helps.

OK, the 2005 movie was HORRID, rent the BBC version with Colin Firth in it, it's the closest to the book. However, you MUST read the book.
I think that Caroline Bingley wanted Darcy for herself, and wanted Georgiana for her brother.

Yes, she wanted Mr. Darcy to like her instead of elizabeth and so she was envious of her. Trust me I read the book.

She wanted to marry him herself and was jealous and afraid that he was becoming interested in Elizabeth.
You should read the book and also the other of Jane Austen's novels. She's writes beautifully and they are a joy to read!
