The Character of Mr Collins in Pride and Prejudice

Mr collins is introduced to us for the kickoff metre in Chapter 13, possibly one of the well-nigh famous chapters of the novel. This is the chapter in which Mr. bennet reads the letter out loud to his family. This letter gives us the most profound impression on Mr Collins character. The contents of this letter makes us calculate him straight away and this judgement marks the image we have of this reverend for the whole story. As soon as his name is mentioned by Mr white avens at the start of Chapter 13, Mrs. white avenss reaction is Oh My dear ( ) require do non talk of that odious art object .This shows how Mr Collins is not peculiarly liked in the society and the word odious is particularly well-suited to the man as we understand further on. This is because he ways of gaining give and building relationships with other people is not very agreeable as he does this through endless(prenominal) flat compliments which, as Mr white avens later points out are often are the resul t of anterior study . Most of the impressions we locomote of Mr Collins are heavily subject, as I said before, to the lecture of the other characters. This is further emphasized as the characters that immediately criticize William have good credibility in this.Mrs Bennet is always the first to shine a good light on possible rich suitors for her daughter so if she decides to criticize a man that fits this description than it means that he is really disagreeable. Also Elizabeth comments his behaviour as being an oddity and as having something very pompous in his genius. This is heretofore again a very good description of him from a very credible character. This is because Elizabeth is throughout the whole novel depicted as being the most intelligent and clever of the Bennet sisters and is therefore a reliable testimony.The first impressions we get which are an actual description by Jane Austen seemingly follow the assumptions we get about him he is heavy spirit and very formal. Both these traits are in great concordance with the Pre-analysis we have already made. These adjectives fit perfectly because all the same though the adjective heavy is not usually associated with looks in this case it makes us count on Mr Collins as a character full of responsibilities he does not actually have and this heavy look shows how he heavy in his way of behaving therefore quite boring and staying with him is a toil quite a than a pleasure.We have two more occasions when Mr Collins first impressions are finally concluded and he has no chance of redemption. foremost in chapter 14 Mr Bennet, after dinner and after having had the conversation with Mr Collins at the table, thinks back to his conversation. Austen describes his thought as reflecting how ridiculous his cousin was and at how this satisfies all his expectations His cousin was as absurd as he had hoped. . This is yet again a comment made by one of the most reflective characters of the novel and therefore we ar e more prone to believe, this is even stronger as he is thinking so he is much less likely to be lying.Lastly and most dramatically chapter 15 starts with the words Mr Collins was not a sensible man,. This is very powerful as the first thing we read of this chapter is the apex of disdain for Mr Collins. Overall the impressions we get of Mr Collins are negative and he represents an uninteresting almost sorry character. His lack of depth and of honest pan out to being complete in our analysis of him and he is immediately labelled as a negative character
