“Engaged to Mr. Collins! My dear Charlotte impossible!” (96).

It is a laughing matter that Miss Lucas would possibly answer to Mr. Collins ridiculous address. Nonetheless it would have been utterly absurd if Charlotte had rejected his proposal. Yes, it does look bad especially to Elizabeth who is her best friend but when analyzing it from the Lucas’s prospective Mr. Collins is the best thing that could ever happened to them. Charlotte was not blessed with good looks, agreeable manners, or intelligence. She was get older and older and her chances of getting married were slowly dwindling, and she wanted a comfortable life after her parents were gone. The only way she could get that was if she had to marry and get a husband that would provide for all her needs. Lizzy wants to marry for happiness and love things that marriage was not really based on at time period. Then, girls got married so they could have a home, children, and move up the social ladder and that is exactly what Charlotte did. Mr. Collins could provide all of these things for her, so Charlotte had to marry him. The circumstances are very unfortunate but the Lucas’s were just being practical.

“ Miss Bingley sees that her brother isin love with you and want him to marry Miss Darcy. She follows him to town in the hope of keeping him there and tris to ppersuade you that he does not care about you" (91).

The Blingleys, Mr. and Mrs. Hurst, and Mr. Darcy all left under false pretence. The fact that they said they had business in the town was not very true. Caroline letter seemed to have some truth to but a lot of the things said were lies. For example Mr. Bingley love affair with Miss Darcy could not be true. Because it was very visible that Mr. Bingley was very fond of Jane and he was developing feeling for her. The real reasons for his departure were not discussed in the chapter but one can assume certain things. First Mr. Blingley would not have left on his own he would have been forced or convince to leave Netherfield. Secondly, Mr. Bingley is not the type of man who would just break a young girl’s heart in this manner, to just leave without saying goodbye or explaining himself. Another reason is that they Blingley sisters and Mr. Darcy are trying to avoid what they thing would be an unholy matrimony. No one can really blame them the Bennet family loves to make fools out of themselves.
