Pride and Predjudice Essay #3

   Mr. Collins is a really weird character in the pride and prejudice book, he's rude, self centered, and overly confident. he can be overly weird, and funny. but its so weird to have a character so out of the blue and rude in such a serious book based by the most chivalrous and honorable of times in history. so why is Mr. Collins so important? why did Jane Austin make Mr. Collins the way he is and why add him in the first place.?

   as I said before Mr. Collins is super rude and self centered, he introduces himself to people with being asked, he talks super highly of himself, and thinks he is better then anyone else. no one really likes him because he's so inconsiderate to the people around him.

his wife. charlotte, tries to get him out of the house as much as possible, telling him to go on walks and go tend to his garden. Pretty much telling him to leave her alone. it was clear from Mr. Collins proposal to Elizabeth that Charlotte didn't love Mr. Collins at all. she had said she married  Mr. Collins for financial stability , not love.

I think Jane Austin added  Mr. Collins to represent the opposite of Darcy. Darcy is very well-mannered and hospitable man, the total opposite of Mr. Collins, who is unreasonable and cocky. Mr. Collins is weird and so rude, its surprising how respected he is.

Mr. Collins is a mildly important character, he's a rude and self centered man. his wife really isn't in love with him. and he is the opposite of considerate. yet he is still respected even though he is so out of the blue and weird.

Pride and Predudice Mini Essay #2

     What we value today in marriage is very different than back in 1813. They married according to social status and money. We now value  marrying for love, and not so much for money.

  Social status was a very important thing in the 19th century. If you were planning on marrying somebody, you had to take social status into account. Usually the people with the best social status had better benefits to marrying.

   Money was  usually important.  If your future in-laws had a lot of money, they might offer you money to marry their daughter. Nowadays you don't have to take that into account. There are still some marriages where you get monetary benefits but many are married for love, not money.

  Marriages were a binding matter, Divorces back in the 1800s were a serious matter, and you basically became a social outcast if you had to get one. Plus, all your money went out the window and you had to move back in with your family. Now you can get divorced for good reasons, and nothing all that bad will happen. Sometimes its better to separate from someone than it is to stay with them.
     There were HUGE differences between now and then in the marriage cycle. We don't need to worry about the money, the social status, or the permanent binding of people getting married. We don't need to marry for money, because love is worth more than that. Social status doesn't matter that much, and you can get divorced. You deserve to be happy. Marry for love, not money, or social status

Pride And Prejdudice mini essay #1

          Miss Bingley self-sabotages herself for the hand of Mr. Darcy Because she is catty, and is very overly prideful.
          Mr. Darcy is the kind of guy who doesn't fancy women who think they are above everyone else. He's cold and usually wishes that he could ignore Miss Bingley without being rude, one example is that time when Miss. Bingley was over Mr. Darcy's shoulder telling him what to write to his sister.
        Miss. Bingley constantly looks for attention from Mr. Darcy, and uses Elizabeth to get his attention, like talking to her, or like that time she invited Elizabeth to walk around the room with her to talk.
       Miss. Bingley also brang up and made fun of Elizabeth's  family and made fun of Mr. Darcy and Elizabeth's "future marriage"
      these bring up the reasons that Miss. Bingley strikes out with Darcy . she's annoying to him, she's catty, and just a brat in general.

A CASTE SYSTEM (something really stupid, i hate this, kill me)

A caste system is a set of unspoken societal rules, that put people above or below each other.

it was something very important to Lizzie and Darcy in pride and Prejudice.
because of it made it harder for Darcy to like Lizzy because he was expected to marry well.
Andit made the higher ups look down upon the people below them.

In my mind i would never marry someone like that.

So here's an example of a caste sysem back then.

The King> the Nobility>Gentry>Trades>Working class>P00R

but I have an example that we can use today!

DANK Memes>St0len Memes>Memes>Weirdness>ThE v0iD

Just kidding.

Bill gates>Donald Trump>Darth Vader>General hux>Padme>ME>Jar-Jar Binks>Beliebers

And yup thats all for today so... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Uhh.... Hi! This is my first blog post. This is my character Rose. She is from the Regency era. (so about the 1810's)

I named her after my BFF Rose, but her attitude is not so opposite of hers, but that's OK.

She is single 
age - 17
personality- outgoing, likes books, she fantasizes a rich handsome boy to sweep her off her feet, and she likes to be around other people. 
She is an only child (LUCKY)
Buuuuut. her father makes 14,000 a year so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
