Collins Marriage Proposal

The marriage proposal that Elizabeth recieves from Collins is not a very good one. Collins makes the whole thing sound like it is the right thing for her to do because it will help him, not because he loves her. He says that she has "good qualities" for a wife. He also says "that another offer of marriage may ever be made to [her]" again, so she better take this one because he is suitable. For Collins the idea of marriage is one that will help is class ranking, he does not love Elizabeth, but Lady Catherine de Bourgh told him to find himself a wife so that ins what he is doing. When Elizabeth as for the third time he pulls out his final reason for Elizabeth to marry him, and that is that "connections with the family of De Bourgh". This proposal completely fails and soon after Collins ask Miss. Lucas to marry him after just two days of knowing each other. Collins sure does get over things fast.
