(This blog is annoying like Mr.Collins. Please look at previous for something more interesting)Mr.Collins is quite a different character compared to all the others. He is a ridiculous character, and his ridicule is shown in his manners, the way he speaks, the way he reacts to things, and the way he thinks. At the beginning of chapter 15 we learn why Mr.Collins character is so histerical. He was brought up in such a way, that his father seems to influenced him quite a bit, "The subjection in which his father had brought him up, had given him originally great humility of manner, but it was now a good deal of counteracted by the self-conceit of a weak head."
The world of Mr.Collins seems to revolve two things, pleasing aswell as complimenting on everyone, and honouring and pleasing Lady Catherine. He also seems to think highly of himself and that everything is going to go his way, "this was his plan for ammends" "and he thought an excellent one full of eligibility suitability, and excessively generous and disinterested on his own part." The only reason why he wants to marry is because it is all part of his life plan. Mr.Collins does not nescessarly care who he marries, just so long as he marrys one of the Bennets to make amends to their family. When he finds out Jane might soon be engadged, "Mr.Collins had only to change from Jane to Elizabeth," showing how desparate he is.
Mr.Collins appears to be very persistent. He followed Mr.Bennert ever since breakfast, and he "continued nominally engaged with the larges portafolios" which is why Mr.Bennet wanted to get rid of him so that he could have the library to himself.
Jane Austen is able to use Mr.Collins to create humour in the chapter. Mr.Collins very nature makes a reader want to smile yet cringe at the embarrasing scenes and moments Mr.Collins goes through. What is even more humourus is that Mr.Collins does not realise his own mistakes. His lack of education, his exagerated apologies and his never ending speeches show the lack of understanding from this one man, which creates a humorous atmosphere in the novel. Mr.Collins captures humour, ridiculousness, and mistakes which Jane Austen wants to show about some people in her society.
