• How does Austen use two female characters in the novel to achieve this purpose?
• OR To what extent is this statement true?

Charlotte
"I am not a romantic you know. I never was. I ask only a comfortable room; and considering Mr. Collin's character, connections, and situation in life, I am convinced that my chance of happiness with him is as fair as most people can boast on entering the marriage state" (109).

2. Elizabeth
"I am perfectly serious in my refusal.---You could not make me happy, and I am convinced that I am the last woman int he world who would make you so" (93).

3. Elizabeth
"My dear Jane, Mr. Collins is a conceited, pompous, narrow-minded, silly man; you know he is, as well as I do; and you must feel, as well as I do, that the woman who marries him, cannot have a proper way of thinking" (116).

4. Charlotte
*letter which Charlotte sent to Elizabeth
"Elizabeth felt that Charlotte expressed herself on every point exactly as she might have foreseen. She wrote cheerfully, seemed surrounded with comforts, and mentioned nothing which she could not praise" (126).]]> 2018-02-28 17:31:54 UTC https://padlet.com/siraj_abbasi2000/5rlbi3c51v33/wish/236542719 siraj_abbasi2000 https://padlet.com/siraj_abbasi2000/5rlbi3c51v33/wish/238774397 1.

2. Elizabeth
"She had heard nothing of Lady Catherine that spoke her awful from any extraordinary talents or miraculous virtue, and the mere statliness of money and rank she thought she could witness without trepidation" (138).]]> 2018-03-06 17:50:54 UTC https://padlet.com/siraj_abbasi2000/5rlbi3c51v33/wish/238774397 siraj_abbasi2000 https://padlet.com/siraj_abbasi2000/5rlbi3c51v33/wish/238784550 1.
