Quote
"Mr. Collins, awkward and solemn, apologising instead of attending, and often moving wrong without being aware of it, gave her all the shame and misery which a disagreeable partner for a couple of dances can give" (Austen 68).
Response
Mr. Collins seems blissfully unaware of his rediculous nature. He only thinks what he wants and is unaware of the fool he makes of himself most of the time. He cannot dance and is unaware that he is a bad dancer. Mr. Collins is on the whole socially awkward, he seems to have no place in society.
Quote
"She felt it to be the probable consequence of her allusions to Mr. Wickham, and rejoiced in it" (78).
Response
Elizabeth takes great joy in her attempts to upset Darcy and she has every right to. The strange thing is that Mr. Darcy does not care, I believe it is mostly due to the fact that he is better than everyone else and he knows it, nothing can hurt his pride. Mr. Darcy is hopelessly in love with Elizabeth as she shows absolutely no interest in him at all, she seems to be falling in love with Mr. Wickham
