Caotic Love Life
The day following the party, Mr. Collins proposes marriage to Elizabeth. In his proposal, Mr. Collins starts stating all the reasons why they should get married, he should set an example in his parish, he will be happy with her, and he has permission from Lady Catherine. Elizabeth refuses to get married to him, and has to deny several times his proposal since he kept insisting that it would be her last chance to find a man because of her age. Ms. Bennet congratulates Mr. Collins, but he tells her that Elizabeth has refused to marry him, and she agrees to convince her daughter to marry him. Ms. Bennet then threatens Elizabeth by saying she would never talk to her again if she does not marry him, unexpectedly to Ms Bennet, Mr. Bennet tell Elizabeth he would not talk to her again is she married him. Mr. Collins then retires his proposal with the excuse that it would have never worked out. Mr. Collins, however, decides to stay until the day he had decided to leave, while the girls go to Meryton to see if Wickham had arrived. When Elizabeth meets with him he tells her he did not go to Mr. Bingley s party since he did not want to see Mr. Darcy. Elizabeth then invites Wickham to dinner and he accepts. During dinner Jane receives a letter, but does not comment it until Wickham leaves and she is alone with Elizabeth. The letter, from Ms. Bingley, is about his brother, Mr. Bingley. She comments that he has left Netherfield and will not be coming back and that he has intentions of being in a relationship with Mr. Darcy s sister. Elizabeth soon tries to convince her sister that Ms Bingley is trying to hurt her feeling since she know that they both have a mutual attraction, Jane, however, does not believe Elizabeth s excuse. The next day they all go to dinner, and during it Charlotte tries to make Mr. Collins fall in love with her and propose her marriage. The morning after that, Mr. Collins asks Charlotte to marry her, but Collins needs to leave and promises to come back later. Ms Bennet is extremely happy, while Elizabeth is shock and sad of the decision Charlotte has made of marrying that fool. However, it’s not long until Ms. Bennet gets angry and stressed. She is still angry at Elizabeth for not marrying Mr. Collins. Elizabeth is still feeling weird with the decision that charlotte made and substitutes her with Jane, who feels terribly sad about Mr. Bingleys departure. After a while, Jane receives another letter from Ms. Bingley, stating that they are never returning to Netherfield and that his brother is falling in love with Miss Darcy. Jane feels a lot of pain because of his departure. Once that Wickham is sure that Mr. Darcy is not coming back, he starts rumors about him and how he broke his promises and his inheritance, which makes Meryton hate Mr. Darcy even more.
