Mr. Collins: Funny or Nightmare???

    In Austen's writing one can clearly see her hidden message disguised by the allusion of  laughter and comedic situations. Mr. Collins is presented in a manner that encompass' the reader to find him comical in his relations to Elizabeth. However, in true reality; Elizabeth is dealing with the Nightmare of forced marriage to someone she does not agree with, and the struggle against the pressure of Mr. Collins,  family, and society. The cushioning pad of "funny" that Austen creates allows us to precept the situation in a different light, yet still understand its immorality. Moreover, one can infer that Collins is a strategic ploy for the reader to see the hidden message of the lifestyle of the 18th century, whilst presented in a comedic manor ism  to  allow the reader to understand the situation in a light tone.

Turnit in Comments:

I definatly feel that i could of improved my essay on Pride and Prejudice if I managed my time and editing. The comments suggesting I improve on my structure to supplement the thesis prove to be a crucial mistake that seems to bring down my essay. The list of three was poor judgment in writing that led to a thesis that does not live up to college standards at all. Next time i will be sure to present my thesis more undestandablly whilst making my argument relevant.

Q fo Quentin

    Essay Q is undoubtedly brilliantly written and significant in relation to the authors thesis. Essay Q presents us with concise body paragraphs, along with  quotes which are all relevant and explained in kin to the plot. The author's claim that characters are at mercy to their social and physical environment is intellectually and complexly integrated into the body of the essay through impressive writing. In support the author also produces a great essay as he/she creates a unobstructed flow from start to finish, supplemented by deep, concise body paragraphs filled with appropriate information. Essay Q's sophisticated style, and writing dubs it the best essay i have read so far in our packet.

E for Eunice

Although essay "E" presented an unorthodox format and intro/thesis, I actually found it a very intellectual, yet easy work to read that effectively  demonstrated its thesis. The author also includes quotes in questionable positions, However, each quote is correctly explained and made relevant to the essay. The simple writing of the author still manages to encompass us in a intellectual manor that one can appreciate reading. Out of the three essays "E" manages to be the most strange, yet still the most effective, and interesting essay to read.

A for Alfi

Of the three essay's I read i found "A" to be more concise, and well written. The author provides a flow in terms of expressing her views. Although the thesis may be slightly unclear, and wordy; the general point of how Austen introduces characters through multiple means such as gossip is clearly understood. The author of "A" combined  complex writing and sufficiently detailed body paragraphs, to demonstrate a well constructed essay that superseded the ability of the writers of essay's "B" and "C" who presented good, yet wordy, over technical drafts.

The Power of The Foil.

Austen implements the power of foiling to supplement the lifestyle of snobbery, and constant gossip of others to reveal characters such as Darcy in multiple perceptions.
