Chapter 15:
Characterization:
 Mr. Collins: foolish, prideful, arrogant, ‘suck-up’
o Narrator-- “Mr. Collins was not a sensible man, and the deficiency of nature had been but
little assisted by education or society…” (71).
o Narrator-- “[Collins was] a mixture of pride and obsequiousness, self-importance and
humility” (71).
o Narrator-- “He protested that, except Lady Catherine and her daughter, he had never seen a
more elegant woman…” (75).
 Mrs. Bennet: judgemental, only cares about her daughters getting married
o Narrator-- “...[Mrs. Bennet] trusted that she might soon have two daughters married; and the
man whom she could not bear to speak of the day before was now high in her good graces”
(72).
 Mr. Wickham: good-looking, charming, polite
o Narrator-- “....[Wickham] wanted only regimentals to make him completely charming. His
appearance was greatly in his favour: he had all the best parts of beauty, a fine countenance, a
good figure, and very pleasing address” (73).
Literary Elements:
 Alliteration
o Narrator-- “...one stranger was soon put an end to by exclamations and enquiries about the
other...” (74).
 Polysyndeton
o Narrator-- “...full of eligibility and suitableness, and excessively generous and disinterested
on his own part” (71).
 Syntax
o Narrator-- “It was impossible to imagine; it was impossible not to long to know” (74).
Key Quotes:
 Narrator-- “Elizabeth, happening to see the countenance of both as they looked at each other, was all
astonishment at the effect of the meeting. Both changed colour, one look white, the other red. Mr
Wickham, after a few moments, touched his hat--a salutation which Mr. Darcy just deigned to return”
(74).
o Foreshadows possible future conflict and implies past conflict between Wickham and Darcy.
 Narrator-- “Mr. Collins had only to change from Jane to Elizabeth--and it was soon done--done while
Mrs. Bennet was stirring the fire. Elizabeth, equally next to Jane in birth and beauty, succeeded her of
course” (72).
o
Criticizes the tradition of marrying by order of age. Characterizes Mr. Collins as foolish and
only intending to marry for status as opposed to love. Foreshadows possible proposal to
Elizabeth from Mr. Collins.
Summary:
 Mr. Collins plans to marry one of the Bennet daughters as ‘atonement’ for inheriting the estate. When
Mrs. Bennet informs Mr. Collins that Jane is soon to be engaged, Mr. Collins decides that Elizabeth
will do. The girls go out and meet with Mr. Denny and his friend Mr. Wickham, who appears as very
attractive and charming. While conversing with the soldiers, Mr. Bingley and Mr. Darcy ride up on
horseback to greet them, but Mr. Darcy and Mr. Wickham change color when they see each other,

awkward interaction between Darcy and Wickham.
Chapter 16:
Setting:
 Dinner party at the Phillips’ house in Meryton
Characterization:
 Wickham: handsome, kind, honorable, respectful, raised to become a clergyman
o Narrator-- “Mr. Wickham was far beyond them all in person, countenance, air, and walk…”
(77).
o Wickham-- “‘Society, I own, is necessary to me. I have been a disappointed man, and my
spirits will not bear solitude’” (80).
o Wickham-- “‘Till I can forget his father, I can never defy or expose him’” (81).
 Lady Catherine: wealthy, rude, snobbish, demanding
o Wickham-- “‘...her manners were dictatorial and insolent. She has the reputation of being
remarkably sensible and clever; but I rather believe she derives part of her abilities from her
rank and fortune, part from her authoritative manner, and the rest from the pride of her
nephew, who choses that everyone connected with him should have an understanding of the
first class’” (84).
 Darcy: prideful, arrogant, wealthy
o Wickham-- “‘...almost all of his actions may be traced to pride; and pride has often been his
best friend… it has often led him to be liberal and generous; to give his money freely, to
display hospitality, to assist his tenants, and relieve the poor’” (82).
o Wickham-- “‘... Mr. Darcy can please where he choses. He does not want abilities. He can be
a conversible companion if he thinks it worth his while. Among those who are at all his
equals in consequence, he is a very different man from what he is to the less prosperous…
with the rich he is liberal-minded, just, sincere, rational, honourable, and, perhaps,
agreeable...’” (83).
Literary Elements:
 Irony (situational): Mr. Darcy senior is a very respectful and great man, his son is the opposite
o Wickham-- “‘His father, Miss Bennet, the late Mr. Darcy, was one of the best men that ever
breathed, and the truest friend I ever had…’” (79).
 Syntax
o Elizabeth-- “‘Good heavens!’ cried Elizabeth; ‘but how could that be? How could his will be
disregarded? Why did not you seek legal redress?’” (80).
o Narrator-- “Whatever he said, was said well; and whatever he did, done gracefully” (85).


Foil characters
o Darcy and Wickham-- “‘...we are very different sort of men, and that he hates me’” (80).
o Darcy and Mr. Bingley-- “‘How can Mr. Bingley, who seems good-humour itself, and is, I
really believe, truly amiable, be in friendship with such a man? How can they suit each
other?’” (83).
Repetition
o Elizabeth-- “‘... but [I] did not suspect him of descending to such malicious revenge, such
injustice, such inhumanity as this!’” (81).
o
Wickham-- “‘We were born in the same parish, within the same park; the greatest part of our
youth was passed together: inmates of the same house, sharing the same amusements, objects
of the same parental care’” (81-82).
Key Quotes:
 Narrator-- “Mr. Wickham was the happy man towards whom almost every female eye was turned,
and Elizabeth was the happy woman by whom he finally seated himself” (77).
o Out of all of the possible women who were admiring Wickham, he chose to sit by Elizabeth.
This begins their conversation, and foreshadows a possible relationship between the two
characters.
 Mr. Wickham-- ““The world is blinded by his [Mr. Darcy’s] fortune and consequence, or frightened
by his high and imposing manners, and sees him only as he chuses to be seen’” (79).
o Conveys common theme of the play: the importance of wealth and status. According to
Wickham, people only care about “fortune” and “imposing manners”.
 Narrator-- “His manners recommended him to everybody. Whatever he said, was said well; and
whatever he did, done gracefully. Elizabeth went away with her head full of him. She could think of
nothing but of Mr. Wickham, and of what he had told her” (85).
o Emphasizes Elizabeth’s opinions about Wickham (and her small attraction for him). It also
characterizes Wickham as flattering and charming.
Summary:
 Mr. Collins and the girls go to the Phillips' house for a dinner party. Mr. Wickham sits with Elizabeth
and they talk about Wickham’s past and Mr. Darcy. Wickham explains that although they grew up
together, Wickham and Darcy hate each other. According to Wickham, Darcy did not respect his
father’s will, and he does not wish to confront Darcy out of respect for his father’s memory. Mr.
Wickham also explains his opinions about Lady Catherine: an arrogant snob. After their
conversation, Wickham leaves, and Elizabeth thinks about him.
Chapter 17:
Setting:
 The Bennet house
Characterization:
 Mary Bennet: focuses on her achievements; cares about pastimes and recreations
o Mary-- “‘Society has claims on us all; and I profess myself one of those who consider
intervals of recreation and amusement as desirable for everybody else’” (88).
 Elizabeth Bennet: does not want to marry for status; sarcastic
o Narrator-- “...the probability of their marriage was exceedingly agreeable to her. Elizabeth,
however, did not choose to take the hint, being well aware that a serious dispute must be the
consequence of any reply” (89).
Literary Elements:
 Syntax (run-on)
o Narrator-- “Elizabeth’s spirits were so high on the occasion, that, though she did not often
speak unnecessarily to Mr. Collins… by venturing to dance” (88).
 Irony (situational): Elizabeth asks Mr. Collins about attending the ball (to poke fun at him), but he
ends up saying yes and asking her for the first two dances.
o Narrator-- “...she could not help asking him whether he intended to accept Bingley’s
invitation…” (88).
Mr. Collins-- “‘...I take this opportunity of soliciting yours, Miss Elizabeth, for
the two first dances especially’” (88).
 Repetition
o Narrator-- “No aunt, no officers, no news could be sought after…” (89).
 Sarcasm
o Elizabeth-- “‘...what have you got to say in behalf of the interested people who have
probably been concerned in the business? Do clear them, too, or we shall be obliged to think
ill of somebody’” (86).
Key Quotes:

Narrator-- “It now first struck her [Elizabeth] that she was selected from among her sisters as worthy
of being the mistress of Hunsford Parsonage” (88).
o Foreshadows possible alliance or conflict between Elizabeth and Mr. Collins.
 Narrator-- “To the rest of the family they [the Bingley sisters] paid little attention; avoiding Mrs.
Bennet as much as possible, saying not much to Elizabeth, and nothing at all to the others” (87).
o The Bingley sisters are so stuck up and only care for people of their own status; try to
downtalk the Bennet family for their own benefit
 Narrator-- “The prospect of the Netherfield ball was extremely agreeable to every female of the
family” (87).
o Gender roles: The only thing that most females aspire to be is a good wife. Important to the
girls because it symbolizes that they are ‘out in society’ and they have the possibility of
meeting a future husband.
Summary:

Elizabeth talks to Jane the next day about what Wickham told her, and Jane defends Darcy, saying
that there is probably a misunderstanding between the two men. Elizabeth ignores Jane and continues
to believe Wickham’s. Bingley invites the neighborhood to a ball the following Tuesday, she looks
forward to seeing Wickham. When Elizabeth asks Mr. Collins if will be attending the dance, he
informs her that he will and he asks her for the first two dances. This is when Elizabeth realizes that
Mr. Collins may have more intentions with other than dancing.

Collins, Lady Lucas, Miss Bingley, Miss Lucas
Literary Elements: Inversion, Syntax, Situational Irony, Satire
Chapter Summary: There is a ball taking place at Netherfield. Lizzy is excited because she hopes Wickham
will be there, but he is not (she found this out by Mr. Wickham’s friend, Mr. Denny). She blames Darcy for
Wickham’s absence since they have a feud between them and Wickham is avoiding Darcy. Lizzy is asked to
dance twice, once by Mr. Collins and Mr. Darcy. As Darcy and Lizzy dance, they are silent for one hour until
they briefly discuss the history of Darcy and Wickham’s relationship (Wickham’s Dad was Darcy’s Dad’s
servant). This conversation does not go well. Miss Bingley reassures her that Darcy is not to blame for what
Wickham has previously stated, but she finds this hard to believe. We also find out that Lady Catherine de
Bourgh is the aunt of Darcy. Overall, the night did not go well for the Bennet family, since most made fools of
themselves.
Chapter 19
Characters Introduced: Mrs. Bennet, Lizzy, Mr. Collins
Literary Elements:
Chapter Summary: Mr. Collins asks Elizabeth to marry him- this does not go well. She can barely take him
seriously when he explains of his many qualifications. He tells her that out of all the women in his
neighborhood, she is the one he chose. He says that he is desirable, wealthy, and will provide happiness and
security for her. Lizzy keeps rejecting him, but Mr. Collins is not discouraged by this and keeps persisting. He
assumes that it is her immense affection that is keeping her from accepting.

Elizabeth’s decision not to marry him. Mrs. Bennet then exclaims how she is disowning Lizzy for being
defiant. Miss Lucas came over to hear of this news. Mr. Collins apologizes but is not offended at all- he is still
very confident in himself and finding another prospect.
Chapter 21
Characters Introduced: Mr. Collins, Mr. Wickham, Jane, Elizabeth, Mrs. Bennet
Literary Elements: Direct characterization
Chapter Summary: The Bennet sisters walk to Meryton to see if Mr. Wickham had returned from his business
that caused him to miss the ball. When they get to town Elizabeth talks to Wickham and discovers he didn’t
go to the ball because he didn’t want to be near Mr. Darcy. When the girls return home Jane receives a letter
from Miss Bingley saying that the Bingleys as well as Mr. Darcy and Mrs. Hurst are leaving for London and
not returning. She also lets it be known in the letter that she wants her brother to pursue Darcy’s sister,
Georgiana. Elizabeth tells Jane that Miss Bingley knows her brother; Mr. Bingley is falling in love with her
and wants to prevent him from marrying Jane because they are in a lower social class. When they inform Mrs.
Bennet that the Bingleys are leaving, they don’t tell her they aren’t coming back because they don’t want her to
freak out.
Chapter 22

obviously says yes and proceeds to tell her family. Charlotte instructs Mr. Collins not to mention their
engagement to the Bennet’s when he returns to Longbourn that night. He eats dinner with them for the last
time and Mrs. Bennet cordially invites him back. Mr. Bennet does not wish for him to return speedily and
attempts to persuade him that coming back would upset Lady Catherine.
