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.
