Pride & Prejudice 13- 16


The interest is something that attracts people a lot. Besides, people do things they do not want to for interest, money or a pay-back. Mr. Collins a character from Pride & Prejudice is an interested character from the Bennet family "Mr. collins was not a sensible man, and the deficiency of nature had been little assisted by educating..." (Austen 52). The Bennets dislike him, he is there just to see if he can marry one of the five daughters and keep the inheritence of Mr. Bennet. When people do things for interest it seems that they do not care of how they do it  " Mr. Collins had only to change from Jane to Elizabeth " (Austen 53). This quote shows how Collins changed of lady in such a short period of time. To mary someone you need to be inlove. Collins is not inlove, he is after the money and this quote showed how much he does not care that he would marry any of the sisters. Today people get married for money, the don`t care who, they only go after the money.

Simultaneously Mrs. Bennet is happy for one of her daughter getting married to Collins eventhough she dislikes him "Mrs. Bennet treasured up the hint, and trusted that she might soon have two daughters married..." (Austen 53). The only interest that she has with her daughters is getting them married and showing the society how a correct family she has. In some cultures daughters have their wedding arranged by their parents and they cannot do anything about it, their voice is not heard.
