How does Austen convince the reader that Lizzy is right to reject Mr.Collins’ proposal?

From the number one sentence of the passage, Austen demonstrates that Mr collins is non a fitting husband for Lizzy when she says Mr collins was not a sensible serviceman. In Chapter 15, Austen describes the character of Mr collins in much detail reinforcing the statement made in the opening sentence. Mr collins is then described as being stupid and his natural imbecility has not been helped by education or nine. Although Mr collins had been to university, he had that kept the necessary terms. so he had not improved himself as a result of attending.Mr collins was brought up as by a stingy father who gave him no guidance and gave Mr collins a dandy humility of manner meaning he was reluctant to involve himself in society. When Mr collins is recommended to the living of Hunsford by fortunate dislodge he is forced into society and his earliest and unexpected prosperity has gone to his head. He venerates his patron dame Catherine de Bough, and Austens use of the invent a doration suggests the religious awe with which Mr collins regards Lady Catherine. It is ironical that a r of all timeend who prides himself on setting an example to his parish practically worships his patroness.Austen describes him as a compartmentalization of pride and obsequiousness, self-importance, and humility. Mr collins intends to get married one of the Bennet daughters, exactly Austens description of Mr Collins convinces the reader that his behaviour makes him unsuit able for whatsoeverone. Before arriving at Longbourn, Mr Collins had decided he would marry the eldest of the five daughters, Jane. However, Mrs. Bennet tells him that Jane is plausibly to be engaged so Mr Collins decides to marry Elizabeth instead. This decision to careen his affections was made while Mrs. Bennet was stirring the fire, which highlights the absurdity in the toss in his affections.Chapter 19 shows Mr Collins at his most well intentioned, but also at his most stupid. Lizzy feels awkward w hen Mr Collins asks to speak with her, and she is snap between distress and diversion, meaning that she didnt know whether to laugh or cry. Mr Collins however, sees this awkwardness as a mark of a good lift and shows his insensitivity by failing to see Lizzys unhappiness at the interview. Mr Collins then claims he leave behind be run away with by (his) feelings which brings Lizzy to the verge of laughter at the very notion. Mr Collins solemn composure would ever lead him to be romantic.Mr Collins gives three reasons for marrying, but none of them overturn Lizzys feelings, they save satisfy him. The first reason is to set an example to his parish the trice is to ensure his happiness, without considering Lizzys, and the final reason is his patron, Lady Catherine de Bough told him to marry. Mr Collins shows his absurd veneration of Lady Catherine by recalling the whole conversation when she told him to choose a suitable wife. So part of the reason Mr Collins is marrying is to sat isfy his patron, who, according to Mr Collins, ordain think Lizzy a suitable wife.Mr Collins assures Lizzy that were she to marry him, she would be able to meet Lady Catherine, something he sees as a real privilege. Mr Collins explains to Lizzy how Lady Catherine will enjoy her wit and vivacity, yet also says how Lady Catherines high social rank demands silence, so it is a mystery how Elizabeth will be able to demonstrate wit and vivacity when she is required to remain silent It is evident from Mr Collinss attitude that he views Lady Catherine as being more important than his intended wife, but he further compounds his errors by express Lizzy there are many amiable schoolgirlish women in his neighbourhood.He also believes the marriage is right as a reconciliation because Mr Bennets farming is entailed away form the family line to Mr Collins. So far, the reader has not seen a motive of love at any point in this proposal, Mr Collins has talked of pleasing himself and his patron. However, from chapter 15, the reader can see that there is no profundity to Mr Collinss affections he had simply resolved to choose a wife, almost for the sake of having one. Mr Collins, however, assures Lizzy of the violence of his affection. He also claims that at as soon as he entered the Longbourn house he had singled out Lizzy as the companion of his future life.The reader knows this to be untrue as Mr Collins only chose Lizzy when he was told Jane was likely to be engaged. Austen convinces the reader here that Lizzy should rid of Mr Collins because it is evident that there would be no element of love in the marriage, and Mr Collins is portrayed as being selfish and dishonest during this conversation. Austen shows the reader that Mr Collins has a pass with flying colors lack of self-knowledge. Mr Collins claims to be perfectly indifferent to Lizzys fortune as she is not entitled to a large inheritance, yet he knows the precise expatiate of her inheritance and speaks at le ngth on the subject.It is evident although Mr Collins professes to let on no interest in her fortune, that he is interested enough to question the exact nature of Lizzys inheritance. Mr Collinss blundering would make Lizzy even less likely to marry him than she was before the start of the proposal. He tells Lizzy there are plenty of lovely girls in his Parish, and speaks at length about the death of Lizzys parents, further demonstrating the particular that he had no idea about the correct way to carry on in society.Whilst making his long speech, outlining the benefits of the marriage for himself and venerating Lady Catherine, Mr Collins had not considered that Lizzy might refuse him which shows great arrogance and complete lack of thought. When Lizzy is finally able to reply, she replies politely, thanking Mr Collins for his compliments, and unsurprisingly, refuses Mr Collinss proposal. Yet, Mr Collins further shows his complete ignorance of society by refusing to accept Lizzy s refusal Mr Collins, claiming to have great knowledge of society, believes that it is usual for young ladies to reject the man they secretly mean to accept. He does not translate society and the idea that young ladies would refuse to marry a man they loved is ludicrous. Lizzy tries to convince Mr Collins to accept her refusal by referring to Lady Catherine, claiming she would find me in every respect ill-qualified for the situation. Mr Collins however, thinks exactly the opposite accept Lizzys modesty and economy make her a suitable wife. These were two of the qualities Lady Catherine instructed Mr Collins to look for in a wife. Mr Collins continues to persist and he outlines the reasons why he is convinced Lizzy secretly loves him.These include my situation in life, my connections with the family of de Bough. He further insults Lizzy saying she might not get another chance of marriage largely because her portion is so small meaning her lack of riches will ruin her chance of ma rriage and he is probably the only man who will accept her. He still refuses to accept Lizzys refusal, and Lizzy leaves the style to appeal to her father whose negative might be uttered in such a manner as must be decisive. Austen does not make the reader feel sorry for Mr Collins, but portrays him as a totally unsuitable husband for Lizzy.The initial description of Mr Collins in chapter 15 tells the reader what Mr Collins is like, and Austens view of him as not a sensible man is totally accurate. In chapter 19, we see Mr Collinss stupidity during his proposal to Lizzy, and it is plain Mr Collins does not know how to behave, nether does he have any understanding of peoples feelings. It is Austens description and portrayal of Mr Collins that convinces the reader that Lizzy is right to reject Mr Collins and that she deserves a much better husband.
