“He [Mr. Collins] carved, and ate, and praised with delighted alacrity… in a manner which Elizabeth wondered Lady Catherine could bear. But Lady Catherine seemed gratified by their excessive admiration” (Austen 125).
In the reading, news characters were introduced. Lady Catherine who was much talked about by Mr. Collins was finally brought into the picture. She seems to have condescending character. She also enjoys having people look up to her and compliment her. Many people would get bored with Collins repeated compliment but Lady Catherine seems to be please with them. It was like Mr. Collins was raised to praise her. Nonetheless, everyone seems treated in such a way, except for Elizabeth. The goes to show people with no social status were the puppets of those who were. They could use them and depose of them, which ever way.
“‘My dear Eliza he must be in love with you’” (138).
Mr. Darcy who is usually ruled by his good reason and right judgment is now over so whelmed with the feeling of love that he does really know what do to. He follows Miss Elizabeth around, gets embarrassed that his aunt is talking ill over, and even expresses his love for her through a proposal. For he first time in his life Mr. Darcy seems to be defeated by someone. Miss Elizabeth character was everything he was wanted in a woman, he was in love and there is nothing he could do about to suppress the feeling. He even had the strength to over look her social status and everything he disliked her or her family because he is truly in love with her
