"he addressed himself particularly to her, as if wishing to make her feel what she had lost in refusing him" (Austen 120).

Response
Mr. Collins continues to make a fool out of himself on every occasion possible. He cannot accept the fact that any person could reject him or dislike him. When he is rejected by Lizzy he finds it especially appalling because Lady Catherine told him to choose a wife. Mr. Collins is utterly rediculous.

Quote
"I pity, though I cannot help blaming her... But I pity her, because she must feel that she has been acting wrong, and because I am very sure that anxiety for her brother is the cause of it" (115).

Response

Jane's optimism can be a good thing at times because she can always see the good things in people. Sometimes there are not any good qualities to be noticed and this creates a very big problem. She becomes very vulnerable to other people who want to hurt her because she is unable to realize their true intentions.
