I don't know how to start the rephrase of Chapter 1 of Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice.

Can you please have a look at it?
I didn't include all the details. Thank you.

1) Chapter one opens with what seems to be an aphorism by the author herself: it is a universal truth that “a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife”.
2) This opening offers an ironic statement about the themes of the novel. The topic of money and marriage are introduced in relation to truth.
3)The author means that everybody agrees on the fact that a rich man must be in need of a wife, and goes on to create a world in which the opposite is shown to be the case, as the mothers of the area prepare to unleash (synonym?) their daughters in pursuit of the eligible visitor to the neighbourhood.

Here is the original version:
"IT is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in
possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife.
However little known the feelings or views of such a man
may be on his first entering a neighbourhood, this truth is so
well fixed in the minds of the surrounding families, that he is
considered as the rightful property of some one or other of
heir daughters."

Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice opens with what seems to be an aphorism by the author herself: It is a universal truth that "a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife." The themes of money and marriage in the novel are developed based on the irony in this statement. The author means that everybody assumes that a rich man must be in need of a wife, but she goes on to create a world in which the opposite is shown to be true, as the mothers of the area prepare to send out their daughters in pursuit of the eligible bachelor new to the neighbourhood.
