This word is fresh and makes the reader like me wants to keep reading the novel and figure out what is the meaning of olive branch. This specific word choice related to the theme of social classes because "Olive Branch" is a fancy name of dance for the middle and upper classes common party. ]]> 2018-05-02 12:35:28 UTC https://padlet.com/109167/ctro8f0vkwvm/wish/257207617 109167 https://padlet.com/109167/ctro8f0vkwvm/wish/257211898 The ladies in the Bennett's family are having a conversation on Mr. Collins character in a specific way. Mr.Collins is being described as an oddity person.The gossip went on how Mr.Collins is "pompous in style"(Austen p.65) , which bring a negative connotation in the word "pompous". Pompous as a word have multiple definition, but the one that is use in this context is showing the attitude of people who speak and behave in a very formal and serious way because they believe that they are better, smarter, or more important than other people . The fact that Jane Austen choose the word "oddity" to fit in Mr. Collins character impacts on the element of social criticism. Then the tone follow more toward the bad judgmental in a conversation as well.]]> 2018-05-02 12:46:24 UTC https://padlet.com/109167/ctro8f0vkwvm/wish/257211898 109167 https://padlet.com/109167/ctro8f0vkwvm/wish/257801391 Throughout chapter 14 Mr. Collins is pleasing Mr.Bennet in order to get closer to his daughter. He complimented Mr. Bennet and act proper gentlemanly. The text above display that Mrs. Bennet is happy so far on Mr. Collins style and how he behave well, therefore the connotative meaning throughout is very positive. The tone throughout the conversation between these two the characters is amusing. It is amusing because the author choice of writing Mr. Collins to be a fool by providing comedy talks in chapter 14 pages 68-69, actually turn out to be beneficial toward Mr.Collins because Mr. Bennet likes his character and he is entertained by his comedy talks. This comedic chapter is fresh and engaging when it comes to the element that tie up with the theme of social expectation.
