Easter Assignment- Mr. Collins

Mr. Collins is a social outcast.
Mr. Collins is Mr. Bennet’s cousin. He is also a clergyman. Though Mr. Collins is a clergyman, he is a very awkward person. He has no aptitude for social interactions like basic conversation. His lack of affability hampers his ability to make friends. But surprisingly his awkwardness has not stopped him from being acquainted with Lady Catherine. Mr. Collins finds his acquaintance with Lady Catherine as a valuable resource, often bragging about it to people in every conversation he has. Mr. Collins is such an inept braggart that he even goes as far as to use his relationship with Lady Catherine as reasoning to marry Elizabeth: “It is the recommendation of the very noble lady whom I have the honour of calling patroness. Twice has she condescended to give me her opinion on this subject […] she said ‘Mr. Collins, you must marry’” (Austen 101-102).
Mr. Collins is like the random colleges that try to get students to attend their college. Mr. Collins is a loser in every aspect. He has no good qualities, characteristics, or traits to brag about. He has only one accomplishment: his relationship with Lady Catherine. And he boasts of his great success in regards to this one accomplishment yet he really has nothing to boasts about. He has no close friends and no one likes him. Yet he brags to people in an attempt to uphold himself as this great person, but it is flagrantly obvious that he is an unknown, inept fool that no one is fond of.
Mr. Collins is like George W. Bush in that they both were unknowns until they got help to their rise to fame, and that they both are absolute losers.
