Reading on in Pride and Prejudice the novel takes a different twist as well as introducing a new character who will play a role in affecting the Bennet family.
Over the weeks interactions between Mr. Darcy and Elizabeth Bennet have led Mr. Darcy to notice Elizabeth Bennet. Mr. Darcy begins to fall for Elizabeth who still sees him as an arrogant, high class guy. While the love story of Mr. Darcy and Elizabeth continues Jane Bennet deepens her friendship with Mr. Bingley. As their friendship continues Jane pays a visit to Mr. Bingley at his mansion. As she hikes on the way to the Bingley Mansion, Jane manages to get mud all over her dress. Reaching the Bingley mansion with a spattered dress, she is looked down upon by the snobby Miss Bingley, Mr. Bingley's sister. As Elizabeth had accompanied Jane on the trip, Miss Bingley notices that Mr. Darcy pays a lot of attention towards Elizabeth. This observation burns Miss Bingley as she looks down upon the Bennets as well as feels for Mr. Darcy.
Although Mrs. Bennet does not wish for Jane and Elizabeth to return so soon, the girls return and come to meet Mr. Collin who is visiting their household. Mr. Collin is a clergyman who has acts very different when described in the text. Mr. Collin seems to have odd intentions as he proposed to Elizabeth after knowing her for a short period of time. In this time era that Pride and Prejudice was written marriages and short proposals such as the one Mr. Collin presented were common yet the behavior of Mr. Collin around the Bennet daughters is strange. At this point in the novel I have come to find that in this time era settings and appeals to the senses are very different as well as culture. These factors play a major role in the story as well as the climax of the entrance of Mr. Collin.
