Mr Collins Pride And Prejudice Rhetorical Analysis

Jane Austen was an English writer who mainly focused on women's roles in marriages during the Regency Era. Her best known book was Pride and Prejudice. In this book, she was the first to use the writing method of free indirect discourse. This method is a special type of third person narration in which the characters’ thoughts and feelings are filtered through a third person narrator. Austen uses free indirect discourse to reveal characters feeling and thoughts without directly stating them. For example, she’s able to describe the Bennets’ most disturbing relative, Mr. Collins. She portrayed him as a man trying to do what’s right but always ending up doing the opposite. Mr. Collins’ best quality, and his greatest appeal to any woman of sense,
is how easily he is manipulated by powerful women.
