Their shared sense of guilt about failing to expose Wickham’s true nature (which they believe would have prevented the elopement) aligns them emotionally and gives them a common purpose. Though she and her husband are obviously at fault, Mrs. Bennet reacts to the news of Lydia’s elopement by blaming Colonel Forster.

Bingley danced with twice. This gives Mrs. Bennet hope that he might fall in love with Jane and that love might lead to marriage.

When they get to know each other better, what do Bingley’s sisters think of the Bennet women? Mrs. Bennet is intolerable, the younger sisters weren’t worth speaking to, tolerance/acquainted towards Elizabeth and Jane.

Miss Bingley asks Elizabeth to walk around the room with her because she wants Mr. Darcy to look at them. Lizzy is relieved that Jane is leaving the Bingley’s because her mother will stop embarrassing their family.

Jane Bennet

Caroline wishes for Mr. Darcy to notice her. Miss Bingley made no answer; and soon afterwards got up and walked about the room. Her figure was elegant, and she walked well; – but Darcy, at whom it was all aimed, was still inflexibly studious.

Bennet needed to “marry them off”- Other than that, the women would be a hassle to society by becoming old maids, with no social position. More than merely marry off her daughters, she wanted to “marry them well”, which means basically, to marry them to money and position.

Why does Miss Bingley dislike Elizabeth? She is jealous of Darcy’s growing attraction to Elizabeth. Wickham has told Miss Bingley lies about Elizabeth’s character.

Collins says in his letter to Mr. Bennet, “Where it shall be my earnest endeavor to demean myself with grateful respect towards her Ladyship,” he speaks the truth; Mr. Collins is nothing if not earnest. The letter is a faithful prelude to the man.

Mr. Collins speaks highly of Lady Catherine as he admires her wealthy, powerful status and wishes to remain connected to her. Flattery is one of the tools he uses to do this. By associating himself with her and speaking highly of her to all around him, he elevates his own status and sense of importance.

Mr. Collins I had no problem with. While the more classic public conception of a person with high-functioning autism (HFA) is the introverted anti-social wallflower, *cough*Mr. Darcy*cough*, there are many who are quite intent on being social, just like other extroverts.

Why does Charlotte Lucas marry Mr. Charlotte marries Mr. Collins because he has a stable income and offers her the opportunity to have a home of her own. She does not love him, but she doesn’t believe that love is essential for a successful marriage.

Collins in Jane Austen’s novel Pride and Prejudice is generally understood to be a very awkward man. His demeanor, mode of communication, and personality displease several characters in the novel and result in his inability to find authentic social compatibility.

The narrator describes him as “a mixture of pride and obsequiousness, self-importance and humility.” He tends to be very impressed with himself and his own ideas and rather obtuse or inconsiderate of the feelings of others, with the exception of his patroness Lady Catherine de Bourgh of course.

Collins was not a sensible man, and the deficiency of nature had been but little assisted by education or society; the greatest part of his life having been spent under the guidance of an illiterate and miserly father; and though he belonged to one of the universities, he had merely kept the necessary terms, without …

Darcy broke up Jane and Bingley because Jane’s reserved manner convinced him that she didn’t feel any real affection for Bingley. As Bingley’s best friend, Darcy thought he had his best interests at heart, and he did not think Jane was a suitable match for Bingley.
